Settings
Settings is the account administration hub in the Skytells Console — covering your profile, security posture, API credentials, third-party provider connections, billing, and rewards, all from one place.
Settings is the account administration area of the Skytells Console. Every credential, access control, provider connection, and billing configuration lives here. It is the place you visit when you need to manage how your account works, not what it runs.
Settings is distinct from the project-level and resource-level configuration you find inside Projects or Infrastructure. Those areas manage your workloads. Settings manages you.
How to get here
- In the left sidebar of the Console, scroll to the bottom.
- Under Account, select Settings.
- The settings area opens with its own left rail listing all settings sections.
What Settings contains
Basic
Your profile — display name, email identity, and personal account preferences.
Security
Account protection controls, including two-factor authentication and account hardening options.
API Keys
The primary credentials for authenticating API requests, SDK calls, and model inference.
Access Tokens
Account-level access tokens — how the CLI, apps, and integrations authorize on your behalf. Scoped, expirable, and revocable.
BYOK Providers
Connect your own AI provider credentials. All AI operations across the Console, APIs, and SDKs route through your key — no markup, no separate billing.
Billing
Subscription, payment method, invoices, and cost management for your account.
Rewards
Your referral link, earned credits, and available perks.
Basic
The Basic section shows the profile information attached to your account:
- Display name — how your identity appears to teammates in projects.
- Email address — the login and notification address tied to the account.
- Personal preferences — any account-scoped display or notification options available in the form.
To update your profile: navigate to Settings → Basic, edit the fields shown, and save.
For account creation and email verification, see Create an Account.
Choosing the right credential type
Settings offers three credential types. Choosing the right one prevents over-permissioning and simplifies key rotation:
| Credential | Purpose | Expiration | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| API Key | Authenticate API, SDK, and inference requests | No built-in expiration | Your services, SDK calls, model inference, integrations communicating with the platform |
| Access Token | Authorize account-level access | Configurable expiration | CLI, OAuth apps, CI/CD pipelines, automation acting on your account |
| BYOK Provider | Third-party vendor key | Managed by the vendor | Using your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure keys inside the Console |
Use an API Key when your code or service needs to call the Skytells API or run model predictions. Use an Access Token when an app or the CLI needs to act on your account.
