Aiven Console overview
The Aiven Console gives you access to create and manage Aiven services, update your user profile, manage settings across organizations and projects, set up billing groups, view invoices, and more. This article provides an overview of the main areas in the console:
- User profile
- Organization and organizational unit settings
- Projects and services
- Billing groups
User profile
To view your personal information, authentication settings, and organizations you belong to, click the User information profile icon in the top right. The user profile is also the place where you can enable feature previews to test upcoming features and get referral links.
Name and email
You can update your name and other personal details in your user profile.
You cannot edit your email address here. Instead, you can migrate your Aiven resources to another email address within specific projects.
User authentication
On the Authentication methods tab of the User profile, you can manage your password and authentication settings, including:
Authentication tokens
On the Tokens tab of the User profile, you can generate or revoke authentication tokens.
Organization and organizational unit settings
The organization or organizational unit that you are currently working with is displayed at the top of the page. You can switch to another organization or organizational unit by clicking the name to open the drop-down menu.
If you don't have an organization, click Create organization to create your first organization.
We strongly recommend creating an organization. It makes managing your projects much easier and comes with many additional features, such as groups, billing groups, and SAML authentication.
Organization and organizational unit settings are available on the Admin page. Here you can:
- Manage your groups
- Create new projects under an organization or organizational unit
- Configure authentication policies for an organization
- View logs of activity such as the adding or removing of users, changing authentication methods, and more
- Rename or delete an organization or organizational unit
Projects and services
To navigate between different projects or view all projects click the Projects drop-down menu. This menu shows only the projects within the organization or organizational unit that you are currently working in. Selecting a project opens the Services page with a list of all services in that project. Here you can view the status of the services and create new services.
On the Services page you can also access the integration endpoints, VPCs, project logs, list of project members, and project settings.
Billing groups
Billing groups let you use billing details across multiple projects and generate a consolidated invoice. Click Billing to see and manage your billing groups and payment cards.
