Account Settings
The account configuration is captured in the account Settings. Each Everyware Cloud service can expose configuration parameters that are scoped at the account level. For example, a Device Registry Service can expose the maximum number of devices that an account can accept or a Data Service can allow to configure a data retention parameter to control for how long data should be retained in the platform.
A account can review its settings in the Settings page.
Account Description
The Description tab contains useful information regarding the account configuration.
Deployment Info
The Deployment Info section contains the MQTT endpoints that are available for the account. Devices that need to connect to the platform have to use these endpoints.
Account Settings
The Account Settings tab contains the current service plan of the account. The service plan defines:
- which services are enabled
- the configuration of their behavior
- the usage limits assigned to the account
To change the settings of a current account, you need to switch to current account in scope to the parent one and manage the account settings from the Settings Tab in the Child Account section.
For example, Everyware Cloud Administrators can review and adjust the settings of any top level account. An account administrator can review and adjust the settings of all its child accounts.
When creating a new Account, review the default settings of the Everyware Cloud services to size appropriately the required functionalities.
