Change user data or permissions

Account and user information is contained in the profile. The set of data in the profile depends on the account type, user type and role. You can view your profile in the control panel under the Profile and settings.

The account owner and a user with the iam.admin role can see information about all users in the control panel: IAM → Panel Users and Service Users sections.

The account owner and iam.admin can modify user data. Some data can be modified by users themselves. Not all data can be changed; for more details, see the What data can be changed subsection.

* A user with the iam.admin role cannot change their own role, but the Account Owner or another iam.admin.

To change your phone number, email address, full name, or company details, edit your profile data.

Data for panel users who are linked to a federation and authenticate via SSO is not stored in Servercore. Their data can be changed on your identity provider side.

Edit Account Owner data

If you have a business account, the Account Owner profile lists a contact person—an employee responsible for managing your organization's account. If the responsible employee has changed or their contact details have been updated, you can change the full name, phone number, and email address in the Account Owner profile. You cannot change the organization the account is registered to—instead, you can register a new account and transfer services to it.

If you have a personal account, you can change your phone number and email address. You can change the full name only if the Account Owner's name has changed or it contains an error. You cannot specify another person's name in the Account Owner profile—instead, you can register a new account and transfer services to it.

Manage user S3 keys

An S3 key is used for working with S3 via API and for working with logs via AWS CLI.

Control panel users can generate their own S3 keys, but we recommend creating service users and issuing S3 keys to them.

Only the Account Owner or a user with the iam.admin role can issue S3 keys to other users. A Service User cannot obtain an S3 key independently as they do not have access to the control panel — the key must be issued by the Account Owner or iam.admin.

You must create a separate key for each project. You can issue multiple keys for a single project.

  1. In the control panel, click IAM.

  2. Go to the section for the required user type:
