## Your personal user account
Glesys Cloud is built around you and your personal user account. On your account, you add payment cards, change your password, and create API keys.
You can also enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account. We support both Google Authenticator and YubiKey.
As a user, you can own or belong to one or several organizations.
### Two-factor authentication
You set up 2FA in the [settings](https://cloud.glesys.com/#/settings) for your user account. You find the settings by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner. When the menu opens, click on your name again.
By requiring something beyond just a password at login, security is significantly increased. By default, all accounts are protected with two‑step verification via email. For users who wish, the extra verification step can be linked to a physical device they possess—such as a hardware security key or a smartphone.
#### YubiKey
A YubiKey is an authentication device that generates a one‑time password. Our YubiKey model plugs into a computer’s USB port, and pressing the key’s gold disc produces the password. At present, U2F keys are not supported.
Key advantages:
* Works out of the box with no configuration required
* Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iPad, Firefox, Chrome, and more
* Operates as a USB keyboard, needing no client software or drivers
* Waterproof, tamper‑proof, and contains no battery or display
* Simple, cost‑effective, and easy to carry on a keyring
* Currently supported by many cloud services
#### Authenticator apps
When it comes to using an app on your smartphone, there are many solutions that all rely on the same standard. Examples include 1Password, Google Authenticator, iCloud Keychain, or Authy. The app generates a one‑time code that you must enter when logging into the Glesys control panel.
## Organizations
All contact information and invoices are gathered under organizations, and the organization is always listed as the recipient on the invoices; of course, an organization can also represent a private individual.
An organization always has at least one owner.
## Owners and collaborators
As the owner of an organization, you can invite other users to your organization. When a user accepts your invitation, they become a collaborator in the organization. You can easily define what permissions a collaborator should have—or whether they should also be an owner.
For example, you can invite a consultant who only needs access to the servers in a specific project, or the finance department, which only needs to view invoices but not administer servers. As the organization’s owner, you stay in control.
Owners always have full rights and access to the entire organization, including the ability to create new projects.
## Projects
All Glesys services are grouped under what we call [Projects](/platform/control-panel/projects.md). Within a project, you’ll find servers, domains, load balancers, and other services.
For example, you might create one project for a production environment and another for a lab environment, or separate projects for different customers.
As an organization owner, you can create multiple projects under a single organization.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.glesys.com/platform/control-panel.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
