Working with your account
This section covers the basics of working with your Altinity Cloud Manager account.
The tasks we cover for your Altinity.Cloud account are:
- Logging in
- Items from the My Account menu
Logging in
To log in, go to the Altinity Cloud Manager login page. Enter your email and password and click SIGN IN:

You can also click the Auth0 link to log in through a third-party authentication provider. The address you use with Auth0 must be the same one you used to create your account.
The My Account menu
The rest of the tasks we’ll cover are in the My Account menu. To access it, click your username in the upper right corner:
Figure 2 - The My Account menu
NOTE: Depending on your role, some of these menu items may not appear.

Figure 4 - The Common Information tab
The Email/Login and Role fields are read-only.
To update your account password, type the new password and confirm it. Click SAVE to update the password.
NOTE: The SAVE button is disabled until both passwords are at least 12 characters long and both passwords match.
The API Access and and Anywhere API Access tabs
These tabs let you configure access keys and tokens for your account. Details of API configuration are in the Altinity API Guide.
The Access Rights tab
The Access Rights tab displays the permissions your account has. You need administrator privileges to modify them.
Figure 5 - The Access Rights tab
The permissions are listed in three columns:
- Section: The area of access within Altinity.Cloud, such as Accounts, Environments, and Console. A value of
*
means the user has access to all areas. - Action: What actions the access right rule allows within the section. Actions marked as
*
include all actions within the section. - Rule: Whether the action is allowed (marked with a
check mark), or denied (marked with an
X).
The user account in Figure 5 has complete access to everything. A user with a different role and different privileges will see a comprehensive list of what they can do:
Figure 6 - The Access Rights tab for a user with fewer privileges
In this excerpt (there are dozens of sections and actions),
the user cannot access the Console or Billing sections, although
they can display and edit settings for their account. The
global permission for everything (sections and actions * *
)
is disallowed as well. Finally, note that the Anywhere API Access tab does
not exist for this user.
Viewing notifications
The Notifications menu item lets you view any notifications you have received:
Figure 7 - The Notification History dialog
Here the history shows a single message. The text of the message, its severity (Info, News, Warning, or Danger), and the time the message was received and acknowledged are displayed. The meanings of the message severities are:
: Updates for general information
: Notifications of general news and updates in Altinity.Cloud
: Notifications of possible issues that are less than critical
: Critical notifications that can effect your clusters or account
Working with billing information
If you have orgadmin
access, you’ll see
the Billing menu item. See
the Billing page
in the Administrator Guide
for more information.
Checking system status
The System Status menu item lets you check the status of the Altinity.Cloud service and your ClickHouse® clusters. This gives a quick glance to help devops staff determine where issues might be when communicating with their ClickHouse clusters.
The System Status page displays the status of the Altinity.Cloud services. To send a message to Altinity.Cloud support, select Get in touch at the top of the page:

Figure 8 - The Get in touch button
The rest of the page displays the status of the system:
Figure 9 - Status of your clusters and ACM
The three graphs show the status for the last 90 days. The first two lines here refer to the ClickHouse clusters in your environment. In this example, the clusters were defined just over a month ago, so there isn’t as much data to display. The bottom line is the status of the Altinity.Cloud management console,
Hovering over any bar (red or green) displays more details for that day:
