# Managing Your Verbosec Account and Team Settings

> Update your Verbosec account details, manage team members, review API usage, and configure billing from the Verbosec Cloud dashboard.

Your Verbosec Cloud dashboard is where you control everything related to your account — from personal profile settings and team access to API keys and billing. This page walks you through each area so you can keep your account configured correctly as your needs change.

## Account settings

To update your account details, go to **Account → Settings** in your Verbosec Cloud dashboard. From here you can:

* **Update your email address** — changes take effect after email verification
* **Change your password** — you'll be prompted to confirm your current password before setting a new one
* **Manage notification preferences** — choose which email notifications you want to receive, such as billing alerts, usage threshold warnings, and product updates

## Team management

If you're on a team plan, you can invite other users to your Verbosec Cloud organisation and assign them roles that control what they can see and do.

**Roles available:**

| Role       | Permissions                                                         |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | Full access to all settings, billing, team management, and API keys |
| **Admin**  | Full access except billing and ownership transfer                   |
| **Member** | Access to products and API usage; cannot manage team or billing     |

To invite a team member, go to **Account → Team** and enter their email address. They'll receive an invitation to join your organisation. To remove a member, find their name in the team list and select **Remove from organisation**.

## API key management

API keys are how your applications authenticate with the Verbosec API. You can manage all your keys from **Account → API Keys**.

From this section you can:

* **View all active API keys** — see every key associated with your account, including its name, creation date, and last used timestamp
* **Generate new keys** — create a key for each application or environment you work with
* **Revoke keys** — immediately invalidate any key you no longer need or that may have been compromised
* **Monitor per-key usage** — see how many requests each key has made, helping you understand which integrations are most active

### Generating a new API key

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Verbosec Cloud → API Keys">
    In your Verbosec Cloud dashboard, navigate to **Account → API Keys** from the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Generate New Key">
    Select the **Generate New Key** button in the top-right corner of the API Keys page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give the key a descriptive name">
    Enter a name that clearly identifies the key's purpose — for example, `Production App`, `Staging Environment`, or `CI/CD Pipeline`. This makes it easier to manage keys as the list grows.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the key immediately">
    After the key is generated, copy it and store it somewhere secure — such as a password manager or a secrets manager in your cloud provider. The full key is only displayed once. If you lose it, you'll need to revoke it and generate a new one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set permissions if available">
    Depending on your plan, you may be able to scope the key's access. Choose **Read-only** if the key only needs to retrieve data, or **Full access** if it needs to trigger actions such as content generation or deployments.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Treat API keys like passwords. Anyone who has your key can make authenticated requests to Verbosec services on your behalf. If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately from **Account → API Keys** and generate a replacement.
</Warning>

## Usage and billing

The **Billing** section of your Verbosec Cloud dashboard gives you a complete view of your usage and spend across all Verbosec products.

From **Account → Billing** you can:

* **View usage across Nexus AI and Starhost** — see how much of each product you've consumed in the current billing period
* **Download invoices** — access and download past invoices for accounting or expense purposes
* **Update your payment method** — add or replace a credit or debit card for recurring charges
* **Manage subscriptions** — upgrade, downgrade, or cancel subscriptions for individual Verbosec products independently

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How many API keys can I create?">
    You can create multiple API keys on your Verbosec Cloud account. We recommend using separate keys for different applications or environments — for example, one key for development, one for staging, and one for production — so you can revoke individual keys without affecting other integrations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I restrict what an API key can access?">
    Yes. When generating a key, use the permissions setting to scope its access to what the application actually needs. Limiting a key to read-only access, for example, reduces the potential impact if it is ever exposed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I change my billing information?">
    Go to **Account → Billing → Update Payment Method** in your Verbosec Cloud dashboard. You can add a new payment card or replace an existing one. Changes take effect immediately and will apply to your next billing cycle.
