Beta Feature
Service Accounts are currently a beta feature. If you'd like to be included in early access to this feature please contact us.

Service accounts allow you to create a Cloudsmith API Key that is not tied to a specific user. Service Accounts are ideal for any use case where you have automated processes (such as a CI/CD pipeline or similar) that requires write access to a repository.

For use cases that only require pull/read access to a repository, you may wish to use an Entitlement Token.

📘
NOTE
In order to create or manage Service Accounts for your organization, you need to have Owner or Manager permissions within the organization.

Create a Service Account

To create a Service Account, go to Service Accounts on your Cloudsmith organization's accounts page, and click "Create Service Account":

You are then presented with the Service Account creation form. Just give your Service Account a name, and optionally add a description and chose any teams in your organization that you wish to add the service account to.
