+Anyone with a user account with May First/People Link can login immediately to Nextcloud. That means, if you already have a username and password that you use to login to your May First/People Link email account, or that you use to secure FTP into your web site, you can use the same username/password pair to login to Nextcloud.
+
+You can add new "User Accounts" in the [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp Members Control Panel] - and they will automatically be able to access Nextcloud too.
+
+== How do I access Nextcloud via a web browser?
