Managing Accounts

A Deployport account serves as a container for resources and identities, providing isolation, billing, and access control boundaries. Each account maintains its own users, roles, and permissions, enabling secure and independent resource management.

Creating an Account

Create a new account

deployport account new <account-name>

Example:

deployport account new mycompanydev

Switch to your new account

Configure your CLI profile to use the newly created account:
Terminal window
```
deployport account switch <account-name>
```
Example:
Terminal window
```
deployport account switch mycompanydev
```

Account Organization

Consider creating separate accounts for different environments or purposes:

Development: mycompanydev
Staging: mycompanystaging
Production: mycompanyprod

This separation provides better security isolation and makes it easier to manage permissions and billing across different environments.
