# Account

Learn about the account portal, where you can manage account data, deployments, and licenses.

The account portal is where you can manage your account data, deployments and licenses. The portal is distinct from your FusionAuth instance, which is where your user data lives. While an instance can be self-hosted or hosted in FusionAuth Cloud, the account portal is an internet accessible web application.

> **NOTE:** You can self-host FusionAuth running the Community plan for your user datastore without ever setting up an account with the FusionAuth portal.
> 
> If you use FusionAuth Cloud or have a licensed plan with advanced features, you need a FusionAuth portal account.

You can control all aspects of FusionAuth Cloud deployments by logging into the [account portal](https://account.fusionauth.io/).

## Portal Areas

You can control all aspects by logging into the [account portal](https://account.fusionauth.io/).

Your account portal contains the following areas:

*   **Home** - displays the dashboard, giving you an overview of everything in your account.
*   **Plan** - select or modify the account's FusionAuth plan (also known as an edition). More details on the [plan differences here](https://fusionauth.io/pricing.md). This is also where you will find your license keys when you are not using the Community plan.
*   **Hosting** - configure and manage FusionAuth Cloud deployments.
*   **Users** - add and remove users from the account portal. Any user added may have one of many roles.
*   **Billing** - add or update your billing information.
*   **Company** - add or update your company information.
*   **Early access** - access pre-release FusionAuth builds.
*   **Support** - learn more about support options or open a support ticket. [Learn more about technical support](https://fusionauth.io/docs/operate/troubleshooting/technical-support.md).
*   **Account** - manage your user account, including adding MFA or changing your password.
*   **Logout** - logs you out of the application.

> **NOTE:** Adding a user to your company will allow them to manage FusionAuth deployments and take other account portal actions.
> 
> Doing so will *not* provision the user an account on the FusionAuth instance in the deployment.
> 
> You must do that separately.

### Home

### Users

You can add, modify and remove users from your FusionAuth account. Users added this way can log in to `https://account.fusionauth.io` and access information about your FusionAuth deployments, plan, licenses and more.

You can see users who have access to your account. Users must have an email address.

![List the users with access to your account.](https://fusionauth.io/img/docs/get-started/download-and-install/users-list.png)

You can also add users to your account. You can have unlimited users in your FusionAuth account portal. If you have more than one FusionAuth account, users can belong to multiple accounts.

![The add button to add users to your account.](https://fusionauth.io/img/docs/get-started/download-and-install/users-list-add.png)

You can also modify an existing user's roles.

![Edit a user.](https://fusionauth.io/img/docs/get-started/download-and-install/users-edit.png)

Users can have zero or more roles. Each role controls access to functionality within the portal.

*   Admin: access to all functionality of the roles
*   Billing manager: view invoices, manage payment methods
*   Deployment manager: view and manage deployments
*   Plan manager: view and manage your plan
*   Security officer: will be notified of any security updates

### Billing

The Billing tab is where you can update your billing information and view invoices. This tab is only useful if you are using a credit card to pay for your FusionAuth plan or deployments.

On this tab, view and modify aspects of your billing. There's an overview of your billing status.

![The overview section of the billing tab.](https://fusionauth.io/img/docs/get-started/download-and-install/billing-overview.png)

You can update your payment methods with a different credit card. FusionAuth stores no credit card data internally; it all is stored in an external third party provider.

![The payment method update section of the billing tab.](https://fusionauth.io/img/docs/get-started/download-and-install/billing-update-card.png)

You can update current payment settings, including:

*   The name on the invoice
*   The tax identifier on the invoice
*   The email address to which invoices are sent

![The payment method details section of the billing tab.](https://fusionauth.io/img/docs/get-started/download-and-install/billing-update-detail.png)

You can view past invoices. This can be useful when accounting is curious about a past bill. No more filing a support ticket to see the invoice from six months ago!
