The account menu at the bottom of the Compute sidebar gives you access to personal settings, organization management, appearance, language, and sign-out controls.

​
Open the account menu

Select the menu next to your account at the bottom of the left sidebar. Depending on your account and role, it contains:
  • Settings
  • Organization
  • Theme
  • Language
  • Sign out
Personal settings apply to your own Compute account. Organization actions and billing permissions depend on whether you are an Owner, Admin, or Member.

​
Organization

Select Organization to open the organization page. You can also select the organization name in the upper-left corner, then choose Organization options. The organization page shows its Owner, Admins, Members, and pending invitations. The actions available to you depend on your role.
  • Owners can manage people, billing, ownership, and organization deletion.
  • Admins can manage people and organization settings and view billing details.
  • Members can view the people in the organization and use its resources, but cannot manage the organization.
See How organizations work in Compute for the full role comparison.

​
Theme

Choose how the Compute console looks:
  • System: Matches the theme used by your operating system or browser.
  • Light: Uses a light background and dark text.
  • Dark: Uses a dark background and light text.
This changes only the appearance of the Compute console for your account.

​
Language

Use Language to change the language of the Compute interface. The available languages currently include:
  • English
  • French
Changing the interface language does not affect your organization, resources, or technical configuration.

​
SSH key

Your SSH public key is used to authorize access to new instances you create. To replace it:
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Find the SSH key field.
  3. Paste the new public key.
  4. Select Modify to save it.
The new key applies to instances you create afterward.
Replacing the SSH key in Settings does not update instances that already exist. Add or remove keys manually on those instances when needed.

​
Delete account

Select Request to delete account only when you are ready to permanently remove your personal Compute account. Before deletion, you must resolve anything that still ties the account to active Compute resources:
  • Terminate running instances.
  • Leave your current organization.
  • Transfer ownership or delete the organization if you are its Owner.
Account deletion is irreversible. Download important data before terminating instances or deleting an organization.
Follow Delete your Compute account for the complete preparation and deletion process.
