A tour of the Console

The Console has two levels: pages for your whole account, and pages inside one project.

Account level

The Projects page lists every project in the current organization, with its database name, size and status. The left navigation under Account & Platform has:

• Usage & Billing: your balance, usage and invoices. See Usage and the free allowance.
• Account Security: password, two-step sign-in, sessions and account API keys. See Protect your account.
• IAM: your teammates, roles and invitations. See Invite teammates and choose roles.

The header shows the organization you are working in (Accounts & Workspaces lets you switch) and the account menu with Projects, Usage & Billing, Account Security and Sign Out. A theme button switches between light and dark.

Inside a project

Choose Open Project on a row, or pick a project from the Switch Project menu. The left sidebar then shows the project. At the top, a PROJECT selector lets you switch projects, a gear opens Project Settings and New creates another.

The sidebar groups pages like this:

• Overview: a summary of what is ready, quick buttons (SQL Studio, Connect, Settings) and the project's endpoints and keys.
• Core Services & Infrastructure: Databases (with sub-pages: Fleet Instances, Connection, Table Editor, RLS Policies, SQL Editor, DB Metrics & Spikes, Query Advisor, Backups, Network Access, DB Settings), then Authentication, Storage Vault, Functions, Containers, Queues & Workers, Realtime Channels, Cron Jobs, Tasks, Transactional Mail and Custom Domains.
• Platform Services: Actions, Events & Webhooks, Deployments, Maps & Geo, Agent MCP and Client SDKs.
• Observability: Unified Logs and Project Analytics.
• Configuration: Secrets & Env and Project Settings.
• At the bottom: Billing and Account shortcuts.

The top bar shows a breadcrumb: Projects / your project / the active database. If a project has several databases, the database selector there switches which one the database pages show.

Where do I...

• ...copy a connection string? Databases > Connection. See Connection strings.
• ...run SQL? Databases > SQL Editor. See The SQL editor.
• ...restrict who can connect? Databases > Network Access. See Network access.
• ...take or restore a backup? Databases > Backups. See Daily snapshots.
• ...create an API key? Project Settings. See API keys.
• ...add funds? Usage & Billing. See Add funds to your wallet.

Good to know

• You only see pages your role allows. See Invite teammates and choose roles.
• The sidebar can be collapsed to icons; the Console remembers your choice in this browser.
• Pages that are wide, such as the SQL editor and table browser, work best on a desktop screen. A banner says so on small screens.
• On a phone, use the PGBHub mobile app for monitoring and quick checks.
• Other services in the sidebar, such as functions, containers, storage and authentication, have their own guides in Learn.
