## Option 2: Admin adds you as a user

If your company manages access:

1. An admin of your LOIS for Word organization can go to the [**Users** tab](https://app.pincites.com/users) in the web app.
2. Add your email to the organization.
3. You’ll then be able to log in via Word once the add-in is installed.

## Option 3: IT setup required

If the add-in isn’t available to install:

* Your IT team may need to approve access first
* Refer them to [Microsoft 365 Admin Setup](/reference/word/admin-setup) for deployment instructions

After installation, you’re ready to use LOIS for Word directly in Word—no separate downloads or tools required.
