Create a service account

A service account is a special kind of account that allows you to use a third-party service or application to interact with DoubleCloud via the API. You can assign roles to service accounts to control what access to DoubleCloud services applications get.

To create a service account:

1. Go to the Project settings page in the console.

2. Switch to the Service accounts tab.

3. Click Create.

4. In the dialog, enter a service account name.

   The name can contain only lowercase letters (a-z), numbers, and dashes and must be between 2 and 63 characters long.

5. Click Next.

6. In the Assign permissions dialog, select the roles to grant to the service account.

7. Click Submit.
