Account Management
In this guide, you'll learn how to manage DBOS Cloud accounts.
New User Registration
You can sign up for an account on the DBOS Cloud console.
Additionally, all dbos-cloud commands prompt you to register a new account if you don't already have one.
Authenticating Programatically
Sometimes, such as in a CI/CD pipeline, it is useful to authenticate programatically without providing credentials through a browser-based login portal. DBOS Cloud provides this capability with refresh tokens. To obtain a refresh token, run:
dbos-cloud login --get-refresh-token
This command has you authenticate through the browser, but obtains a refresh token and stores it in .dbos/credentials.
Once you have your token, you can use it to authenticate programatically without going through the browser with the following command:
dbos-cloud login --with-refresh-token <token>
Refresh tokens automatically expire after a year or after a month of inactivity. You can manually revoke them at any time:
dbos-cloud revoke <token>
Until they expire or are revoked, refresh tokens can be used to log in to your account. Treat them as secrets and keep them safe!
Organization Management
This feature is currently only available to DBOS Pro or Enterprise subscribers.
Organizations allow multiple users to collaboratively manage applications. When a user creates an account, they are automatically added to an organization containing only them, where the organization name is the same as their username.
To invite a new user to your organization, run:
dbos-cloud org invite
This command retrieves a single-use organization secret that expires in 24 hours. To invite multiple users, create multiple secrets.
Using this organization secret, another user can register a new account in your organization by running:
dbos-cloud register -u <username> -s <organization-secret>
Alternatively, if a user has an existing account, they can join your organization by running:
dbos-cloud org join <organization-name> <organization-secret>
All users in an organization have full access to its resources, including databases and applications.
An organization admin (the user who created the organization) can rename the organization by running:
dbos-cloud org rename <current-org-name> <new-org-name>
Applications belonging to organizations are hosted at the URL https://<organization-name>-<app-name>.cloud.dbos.dev/, so renaming your organization changes your application URLs.
