    Account management

    Last updated: Apr-23-2025

    There are several ways to manage the usage and behavior of your Cloudinary account.

    Some of these options determine behavior across your entire account, and others are specific to each product environment in your account.

    On this page:

    • User and group management
    • Console settings
    • Media Library preferences
    • DAM Apps

    User and group management

    There are many types of users who play a part of any Assets (Digital Asset Management) workflow. You can set access and permission levels via user roles, user groups, and folder and collection permissions in line with your data and asset governance policy.

    You can provision and configure users and groups manually in the Console, programmatically via the Provisioning API, or using your organization's SAML-based SSO IdP.

    Console settings

    From the Cloudinary Console Settings pages, you can define a variety of options, some of which apply to the currently active product environment, and should be set for each product environment separately, and other configurations that apply to the entire account.

    Account settings

    From the Account settings, you can manage your plan, product environments, user and group defintions, and account security information. That section also includes the My Profile page where each individual user can set personal account details and preferences that apply for all product environments they can access in the account.

    Other account-level settings

    From the Billing page, you can view your plan details, upgrade your plan, and manage account information, billing address, and invoice settings. From the Add-ons page, you can register for features that offer unique transformation and customization, optimization and delivery, or asset management and analysis capabilities.

    Product environment settings

    From the Product environment settings, you can manage settings specific to the current product environment, including API keys, upload behavior, backup, optimization, webhook notifications, security, and more.

    Note
    This Admin Guide provides detailed documentation on important Console Setting options that directly impact Assets users. You should set other options in both the Account and Product Environment settings in coordination with your developer team.

    Media Library preferences

    Media Library preferences enable you to control the behavior and/or appearance of the Media Library for the currently active product environment, such as determining the way to display and maintain custom metadata or what to include in the results when you run an Advanced Search.

    Users with a Master admin role can set these options for the currently active product environment from the Preferences section of the Assets product navigation menu.

    DAM Apps

    You can customize and enhance the Media Library features available to your Assets users at no extra cost by selecting DAM apps to add to the currently active product environment.

    To add Media Library apps, select App Marketplace from the Assets product navigation menu.
