Service Accounts

Refer to Overview▸, to manage environment resources through APIs, Terraform, or other methods, you must first create a service account. This article provides instructions for creating and managing service accounts in AutoMQ Cloud.

Service Account​

Each AutoMQ environment is managed independently, with a separate account system within each environment to manage resources specific to that environment.

  • Service accounts are completely isolated between different environments to prevent confusion and permission leaks.

  • There is no association between service accounts and cloud vendor accounts; they are entirely independent.

Create a Service Account​

Using the AutoMQ Cloud environment console, members with an Admin role can create service accounts.

The steps to create a service account are as follows:

  1. An environment member with an Admin role accesses the environment.

  2. Click the Service Accounts button in the left navigation bar to enter the Service Accounts List.

  3. Click Create Service Account, enter the service account alias, choose the assigned permission role, and then click Create.

  4. The system will provide the AccessKey information for the service account, which users need to download and save securely.

The Access Key information for the service account is only available for download at the time of creation and cannot be modified or viewed later. Users should keep it safe to prevent leaks and loss.

Modifying a Service Account​

Members with Admin role privileges can access the environment console at any time to manage service accounts, including modifying the authorized role of the service account or deleting the service account. The steps for these actions are similar to those for creating an account.
