# Onboarding checklist

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 | <ul><li>Activate Cortex AgentiX in Cortex Gateway</li><li>Enable access to Palo Alto Networks resources</li></ul>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          | [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            | <p>Use the Data Sources Onboarding wizard to configure the priority content for your use cases that you want to ingest into Cortex AgentiX.</p><p>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.</p> | [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.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/onboard-cortex-agentix/deployment-steps/onboarding-checklist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
