# How to log in to Inbox

If you’re an Inbox **owner**, go to your [MessageBird Dashboard](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/), log in with your MessageBird account, and then go to **Inbox** on the side navigation.

If you’re an Inbox **admin** or **agent**, you must go directly to <http://inbox.messagebird.com/login> and log in with your MessageBird account. You can't log in to the MessageBird dashboard because you are not an **owner**.

#### Don't know if you're an Owner, Admin, or Agent?

Learn about the three types of [Inbox users and their permissions](/connectivity-platform/managing-inbox-admins-and-agents/inbox-user-roles-and-permissions.md) in detail, or look at the summary below for a quick overview.

* **Owner** - only one per Inbox Account, An Owner has Access to the whole MessageBird Dashboard, Inbox Settings, Reporting, and Agent UI.
* **Admin** - any Agent created within Inbox settings can be set to have this role. Admins have access to Inbox Settings, Reporting, and Agent UI.
* **Agent** - Agents only have access to the Inbox Agent UI. Can be upgraded to Admins by Owners and Admins of the account at any point in time via the [Agents page](https://inbox.messagebird.com/manager/team).

#### Keep being redirected to the Dashboard?

If you were at some point logged in as the Workspace owner - you might get redirected to the Dashboard page to access Inbox.

Follow these steps to avoid it:

* Use an Incognito window in your browser
* Create a new Chrome Profile&#x20;
* Log out via <https://inbox.messagebird.com/logout>&#x20;
* Delete your browser's local storage data
