Once you’ve set up Iru Access, all the applications your organization has assigned to you are a click away - and you sign in to each one without a separate password.

​
Find and open an app

Go to your organization's Iru site

In your browser, open your organization’s Iru web address - your organization’s name followed by .iru.com, for example yourcompany.iru.com. That’s your app dashboard. Not sure of it? Ask your IT team, and bookmark it once you’re there.

Sign in

Confirm it’s you with your passkey or the Iru Access app - a quick fingerprint, face, or screen-lock gesture. There’s no separate password.

Pick an app

Your app dashboard shows your assigned apps as tiles. Selecting one signs you straight in - Iru handles the sign-on for you.
Each tile shows the app’s name and icon, a short description, your role in the app (when it applies), and when you last opened it.
You’ll also find your apps in the Iru Access app itself: the desktop app shows them on a Home view with your favorites at the top, and the mobile app has a dedicated Favorites tab.
  • Favorite the apps you use most so they’re front and center - look for the star on a tile to add or remove it.
  • Search your apps by name to jump straight to one, and recently opened apps stay close at hand.
Your list only ever shows the apps you’ve been given, so what you see reflects the access your organization has granted you.

​
Your account settings

From your avatar in the top-right of the dashboard, open Account to manage your own details and sign-in. It has two tabs:
  • Profile - your name, username, email, and Iru domain, plus preferences such as time zone, language, and whether you get weekly status emails. Use Edit to update them.
  • Authenticators - the passkeys and Iru Access devices registered to you. See Manage authenticators.

Iru Spotlight (macOS)

Iru Spotlight is Iru Access’s built-in launcher: a quick way to find and open your apps - or find a person in your organization - without leaving what you’re doing.
The Iru Spotlight launcher with Zoom typed and a Zoom result listed under Apps, openable with Command-1.

Open Iru Spotlight

Press ⇧⌘ Space from anywhere. (If nothing happens, turn on Enable Quick Search Shortcut in Iru Access settings, described below.)

Find an app or person

Start typing. Matching apps appear under Apps, alongside people in your organization.

Open it

Press the number next to a result - ⌘ 1 for the first - or select it. Iru Access signs you in to that app in your chosen browser. Press Esc to close.

​
Your apps in macOS Spotlight

Iru Access also plugs into macOS’s own Spotlight (⌘ Space), so your apps go a step further there: search an app’s name and you’ll see a “Log in to Zoom with Iru Access” action you can run right from Spotlight - no need to open Iru Access first.

  • The same action is available through Siri and the Shortcuts app.
This is macOS’s system search (⌘ Space) - separate from Iru Spotlight (⇧⌘ Space) above. It needs macOS 15 or later, and on iPhone and iPad (iOS/iPadOS 18+) your apps appear the same way in Spotlight search.

​
Iru Access settings (macOS)

On a Mac, open the Iru Access menu and choose Settings… (or press ⌘ ,) to control how Iru Access behaves.
The Iru Access Settings window on macOS, with Open apps with, Show Iru Access in the Menu Bar, Enable Quick Search Shortcut, and Appearance options.
  • Open apps with - choose which browser your apps open in. By default that’s your system browser; pick any installed browser and it saves right away, so every app you launch from Iru Access opens there. To use a different browser just once, right-click an app and choose Open Once With (your current default is marked (Default)).
  • Show Iru Access in the Menu Bar - keep Iru Access in the macOS menu bar so your apps are a click away without opening the main window.
  • Enable Quick Search Shortcut - turn on Iru Spotlight, the ⇧⌘ Space launcher for finding an app or a person from anywhere (described above).
  • Appearance - match your system theme, or force light or dark.
These settings are macOS-only. On iPhone and iPad, apps open in your system default browser.
