Managing Cloud Accounts ​

An Account is your portal to Directus Cloud. You can use it to manage your Teams, Team Members, Projects and billing. To avoid confusion, "User" is the term for user profiles in a Directus Project, while the terms "Account" and "Team Member" are used in the context of Directus Cloud. Accounts on Directus Cloud and Users in a Directus Project are two separate systems.

Create Account and Login ​

Creating an Account is easy and free. As we talked about in the Overview, we've made life easy for you by giving you the option to create and log in to your free Cloud Account automatically with GitHub. If you don't have a GitHub account or prefer not to use this login method, email-and-password login is available, as well. In either case, simply go to the Login Page and follow the prompts.
