# Onboarding checklist
Activate, provision, grant access, and configure Cortex AgentiX.
Onboarding Cortex AgentiX involves establishing core environments first, such as activating a tenant, assigning user roles, and configuring agents.
| Step | Details | See More |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1. Activation and initial setup | - Activate Cortex AgentiX in Cortex Gateway
- Enable access to Palo Alto Networks resources
| [Activate Cortex AgentiX](/cortex-agentix/onboard-cortex-agentix/deployment-steps/activate-cortex-agentix.md) |
| 2. Set up users and roles | Assign initial administrator and analyst user roles, create user groups, and assign roles to those groups (recommended) to a limited number of users initially. You can update this later. | [Roles management](/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/users-and-roles-management/roles-management.md) |
| 3: Configure content | Use the Data Sources Onboarding wizard to configure the priority content for your use cases that you want to ingest into Cortex AgentiX.
Configure/enable a key Threat Intelligence feed, such as the Unit 42 Intelligence feed, to enrich incoming issues. This ensures that as soon as a log/alert hits the Data Lake, it has the latest malicious context.
| [Install and configure content](/cortex-agentix/onboard-cortex-agentix/deployment-steps/install-and-configure-content.md) |
Your Cortex AgentiX tenant is now operational and is ingesting data.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/onboard-cortex-agentix/deployment-steps/onboarding-checklist.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
