# Get Started with the Enhanced Experience

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Grow and tune your AI portfolio by registering and monitoring agents, APIs, and gateways in
centralized catalogs. Sign in through the entry point your organization provides, such as Anypoint
Platform, or a direct URL, to access dashboards and governance strategies based on your assigned
permissions. You can review live performance metrics, manage security policies, and track rule-level
compliance through automated conformance reports.

These tools ensure your AI assets remain audit-ready while providing clear visibility into cost and
runtime health across your organization.

Watch this video to see how to get started with the enhanced MuleSoft experience:

## Access the Enhanced Experience

Your organization determines how you access the new experience. Common options include these
environments.

- Anypoint Platform

  In Anypoint Platform, look for the new experience banner or shortcut and choose **Go to the new
  experience**. Your administrator can also add a direct link in the main navigation or workspace.

- Coding assistants

  If your organization connects the new experience to a supported assistant, such as Claude Code,
  follow your internal instructions to open the new experience features from that development
  environment.

- Direct URL

  Your organization can share a standalone URL that signs you in to the new experience outside other
  apps. Use the address your administrator or internal documentation provides.

- Custom integrations

  Your organization can build access through another tool. Follow the internal access instructions
  for custom integrations.

> [!NOTE] Available access points depend on how your administrators configured the new experience’s
> integrations with other platforms.

## Before You Begin

Before you rely on the new experience in production, complete these checks with your administrator.
Requirements vary by entry point and how your administrator integrates the new experience with other
systems.

Access and Credentials

- Confirm that you have a user account for your organization’s entry path, such as Anypoint
  Platform, and valid credentials to log in.

- Confirm that you can reach the new experience and integrated services, such as Anypoint Platform,
  or a connected coding assistant, from the networks and locations you use.

Platform and Product Access

- Confirm that your organization has the required product access for the new experience and that an
  administrator enabled it for your Anypoint Platform business group or organization.

  If the experience isn’t available, contact your Anypoint Platform organization administrator or
  MuleSoft account team.

- Confirm that required integrations with Anypoint Platform or your development environment work end
  to end.

- If the new experience connects to other services, work with your administrator to configure
  authentication, such as API keys or OAuth tokens, to ensure successful connections.

- Confirm that your administrator approved and configured required external connections, such as
  cloud providers under **Providers**.

## Enhanced Experience Permissions

The new experience uses Anypoint Platform access management. Your administrator maps jobs to roles
and permissions in Access Management. Exact permission names differ by organization. Use this table
with your internal access guide.

To apply open policies, or to apply, edit, enable, disable, or remove native policies on external
gateways, you also need the Organization Administrator role. Without it, you can’t load an open
policy catalog, open a policy configuration form, apply an open policy, or apply, edit, enable,
disable, or remove native policies on an external gateway. Listing native policy templates on an
external gateway still uses the View Policies permission. Viewing policies already applied on Omni
or Mule gateways still uses the View Policies or Manage Policies permission.

If you can’t complete an action or a page shows an authorization error, ask your Anypoint Platform
organization administrator for the matching permission or role.
