Accounts

The Accounts page helps you view and manage accounts in the console.

What are Accounts?

Accounts are your registered cloud provider credentials. Each account represents access to one provider (e.g. Akamai, DigitalOcean, AWS) with a specific authentication method (API key or OAuth). The console uses these accounts to list and manage resources on your behalf.

Customize account display

By default an account is referred by its unique ID assigned by the provider, which may be long and not informative. It is recommended to assign an alias to each of the accounts added. Use the Alias attribute to choose a shorter name for your account.

Also, you can pick a color for each of your accounts to visually group resources.

Aliases and color settings are used for display purposes only, and stored in the browser’s cookies.

View Accounts

The Accounts table lists all registered accounts, with their attributes displayed in table columns. Use pagination controls at the bottom of the page to navigate between pages if there are too many accounts to display.

When table data is being updated, table rows are displayed in italic, and table controls become inactive. It may take time to load the next portion of data.

To refresh the table, use the Reload 🔄 button.

Attributes

The following Account attributes are available:

  • ID — Provider-specific identifier
  • Provider — Cloud provider (e.g. Akamai)
  • Auth region — Region associated with the account
  • Auth type — Authentication mechanism
  • Auth role — Authentication role (e.g. Admin, read-only)
  • Alias — User-assigned account name
  • Background — Style associated with the account resources
  • Authentication token — Token used to access resources

Which columns appear by default can vary; use the Layout button in the toolbar to show or hide columns.

Adding an account

To add a new account, click Add in the toolbar. You will be taken to the Add Account page to register credentials with a cloud provider.

Sign out from a managed account

To sign out from an account, check the account’s selection box and click the Sign Out ➡️ button. This removes your provider’s API key from your browser’s cookies. No cloud resources are deleted when you sign out.
