Authentication
Learn more about the management of email accounts, cluster credentials, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) measures.
In BYOC deployments, API keys authenticate Platform API (control plane) requests only. For data plane access (Milvus operations), use cluster credentials (username/password). API keys cannot be used for Milvus SDK or client connections in BYOC.
Email Accounts [READ MORE]
Once you have registered an account with Zilliz Cloud, you can manage your account information, switch your login method, and unlink from your Google or GitHub account.
API Keys [READ MORE]
API keys are used to authenticate users or applications making API or SDK calls to access Zilliz Cloud control plane and data plane resources. An API key is an alphanumeric string with its own properties, such as a name and an ID.
Cluster Credentials [READ MORE]
Zilliz Cloud authenticates your identity using a token. A token can be either the cluster credential or an API key. This guide introduces authentication with cluster credentials.
MFA [READ MORE]
Authentication verifies your identity when you sign in to Zilliz Cloud. To strengthen this process, Zilliz Cloud supports multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Single Sign-on (SSO) [READ MORE]
Single sign-on (SSO) is a feature that allows users to log in to multiple applications or services with a single set of credentials, rather than requiring separate logins for each.
