# Account overview

The [Ably dashboard](https://ably.com/accounts) is where you manage your accounts and apps.

## Apps 

Create a new app to get started with Ably, or select an existing app to configure its settings and monitor connections, channels, and messages that are being used throughout it. You can also view logs and reports for each app to keep on top of your usage and troubleshoot any issues as they arise.

## Settings 

Manage your Ably account settings, including authentication, billing, and ownership:

* Use your account's unique identifier (Account ID) when contacting support.
* Account owners can require all users to set up [two-factor authentication (2FA)](https://ably.com/docs/platform/account/2fa.md?source=llms.txt) for added security.
* Update your billing details and package subscription.
* Transfer ownership or cancel the account.

## Reports 

View detailed [reports](https://ably.com/accounts/any/apps/any/reports) about your account and app usage.

## Team 

[Manage the users](https://ably.com/accounts/any/account_users) that have access to your account. The account owner role has full permissions to manage the account, including adding and removing users, and managing their [roles](https://ably.com/docs/platform/account/team.md?source=llms.txt).

## Profile settings 

Click the user avatar in the top-right of the Ably dashboard to access your profile settings:

Your profile settings are organized into three sections:

* [Profile](https://ably.com/users/settings/profile): view and edit your name and email address, or delete your profile.
* [Security](https://ably.com/users/settings/security): manage your password, [two-factor authentication (2FA)](https://ably.com/docs/platform/account/2fa.md?source=llms.txt), and connected login providers (Google, GitHub).
* [Emails and notifications](https://ably.com/users/settings/emails_and_notifications): customize Ably email preferences (product updates, news, educational emails) and set up notifications for account usage.
