Switch your active account

Choose which of your accounts the console and the CLI work against. For anyone who belongs to more than one account.

Everything you do happens in one active account: the projects you see in Ideate, the build environments you enter in Build, the account admin pages you open, and the account that is invoiced for your usage. The console, the CLI and the TUI share the same active account, so switching in one switches the others.

Prerequisites

  • You are a member of at least two accounts, or you administer one.

Switch in the console

  1. Click your name at the bottom of the navigation pane. The account menu lists your accounts.
  2. Click the account you want. With more than six accounts, a search field at the top narrows the list.

A message confirms Now viewing account '…'. If you were inside a project or a build environment that belongs to the previous account, the console returns you to the product's home page.

Switch in the CLI

List the accounts you can choose from. The active one is marked "active": true.

alis accounts list --json

Set the active account with its resource name and refresh your session in one step.

alis accounts select accounts/ACCOUNT --json

Replace ACCOUNT with the id from the list. The next time you load the console it shows the account you chose here.

Check which account is active

  • Console: the account card at the bottom of the navigation pane names it.
  • CLI: alis accounts list --json marks it; alis whoami --json shows the signed-in user.
