# Get Authenticated

> Create a Service Account to log in and use the CLI.

## Creating a Service Account

Before you can login, you will need to create a Service Account. In the `Projects` tab, in the `Service Accounts` section, you can create a service account. For authenticating CLI calls, we need the following:

* Your Service Account key ID
* Your Service Account secret key

Additionally, you may need to add permissions to your Service Account to allow it to modify your projects. To do this, click on your Service Account and add a project role. From there, you can choose a project and permissions.

For more information on Service Accounts, refer to the [Service Account Authentication] documentation.
