# Account Management

## Getting Started: Sign Up

To begin using LatticaAI services, **Computation providers** must first create an account. The registration process requires basic information, and an **Account ID** will be assigned upon successful completion.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Account ID**: This unique identifier provides access to all system features outlined in the \[[Conceptual Guide](https://platformdocs.lattica.ai/conceptual-guide)].<br>

💡Registration is not required for end-user activities performed through the Query Client. End-users rely on access tokens provided by the Computation Provider and do not interact directly with the LatticaAI platform's account management system.
{% endhint %}

## Managing Account Information

After creating your account, you can update your contact details, such as email address and phone number, through the **Account Settings** page.

**Note on Terminology**\
In this section, the term *model* is used generically.\
For customers providing TFHE-based programs or other non-model workloads, *model* should be interpreted as *workload*. The underlying account structure, permissions, and billing logic remain the same.
{% endhint %}

## The Web Console and Dashboard

After registration, you'll get access to the **web console** - a central hub for managing your services. The **Dashboard** is your main landing page, showing key metrics and quick links to manage your account.
