5 Account

This section describes the Compute Classic CLI commands you can use to view accounts.

An account is used in Compute Classic to store credentials that must be used to access another service. For example, you use an account to define the credentials and other details of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic instance in which you store machine images.

Before running the CLI commands described in this section, make sure that you've installed the CLI client and set up the required environment variables as described in Preparing to Use the CLI.
