Service overview

When you log in to your Timescale Cloud account, you see the Services page. Click the service you are interested in to see the Services Overview tab. This section contains your service’s connection information, and an overview of the configuration and resource usage for the service.

Service users

By default, when you create a new service, a new tsdbadmin user is created. This is the user that you use to connect to your new service.

The tsdbadmin user is the owner of the database, but is not a superuser. We do not currently allow access to the postgres user, nor creation of multiple databases. We recommend using schemas or creating additional services for data isolation.

On Timescale Cloud services, the tsdbadmin user can create another user with any other roles. For a complete list of roles available, see the PostgreSQL role attributes documentation.
