An account is the top-level boundary in Prefactor — it maps to your organisation.

Every agent, environment, team member, and API token in Prefactor belongs to an account. When you sign in, you land inside one. Nothing crosses that boundary: activity, governance history, and configuration are all scoped to the account you are in. Projects, teams, and products all sit inside the same account.

Inside an account, you manage [agents](/platform/concepts/agent), the [environments](/platform/concepts/environment) that separate your lifecycle stages, and the [risk profiles](/platform/concepts/risk-profile) that classify the data risk of your agents' runs. You control who can access the account through team membership and pending invitations, and you create the [API tokens](/platform/concepts/api-token) that let your integrations authenticate with Prefactor.

## In the Admin UI

- [Account › Details tab](/admin-ui/account/details) — the account's name and ID, with links to the other account settings tabs.
- [Account › Team tab](/admin-ui/account/team) — members currently in the account.
- [Account › Invites tab](/admin-ui/account/invites) — pending invitations.
- [Account › API tokens tab](/admin-ui/account/api-tokens) — tokens for programmatic access.
- [Account › Environments tab](/admin-ui/account/environments) — the environments configured for this account.
