Service Accounts

What a service account is, how to open the right one and how to create a new one.

What it is

A service account holds everything that belongs to a company in Caramelo AI: its projects, team, subscription and billing. The same user can have access to several accounts, for example their own company’s and one for a client they work for.

The Service Accounts screen is the first one you see after logging in. That’s where you choose which account you’ll work in.


1. When to use

  • Right after logging in, to choose the account you’ll work in;
  • When you serve more than one company and need to switch between them;
  • When you need to create a new account for a client or another business.

2. Opening an account

Under Your Accounts, each account shows up as a card with its name.

  1. Find the card of the account you want to use.
    • If you have more than 4 accounts, a search field appears above the cards. Type part of the name to filter the list.
  2. Click the card.
  3. The platform opens the account screen, with its projects. That screen is explained in the Projects guide.

💡 Tip: if you have access to several accounts, check the name on the card before opening it. That way you won’t change the projects of the wrong account.


3. Creating an account

  1. On the Service Accounts screen, click Add Account, next to Your Accounts.
  2. Under Name, type the account name.
  3. Click Create account.

You go back to the list, and the new account already shows up as another card.


4. Switching accounts

You don’t need to log out. Click your name in the top right corner and choose Service Accounts. The list shows up again and you open the other account from its card.

⚠️ Deactivated account: a blocked or canceled account shows up in the list with a block icon or an X instead of the building icon, and it doesn’t open. When you click it, the platform shows the notice “Conta de serviço desativada.” (Service account deactivated). To find out why and reactivate it, talk to the account administrator or to Caramelo AI support.


5. Frequently asked questions

Can I have access to more than one account?

Yes. Every account you've been added to shows up under Your Accounts, each one in its own card. When someone invites you through an account's Team, that account appears in your list.

How do I switch accounts?

Click your name in the top right corner, choose Service Accounts and open the other account from its card.

I can't find an account in the list. What should I do?

If the list has a search field, search for the name. If the account still doesn't show up, you don't have access to it yet. Ask an account administrator to invite you through Team.

What do I see after opening an account?

The account's project list and a summary of its subscription. It's all explained in the Projects guide.
