Cloud Account template

Last updated: 4 Jul 2026

Official optional IT pack—structured fields for cloud account secrets.

What this template is

The Cloud Account template stores cloud IAM, service accounts, and console access credentials. Enable it under Settings → Category templates → Infrastructure & IT.


Category slug	`cloud-account`
Pack	Official optional — `nt2-template-cloud-account`
Tier	Free

When to use it (and when not to)

Good fits

AWS, GCP, or Azure service account keys
Region and resource ID for scoped automation
Console URL separate from API tokens

Use something else instead

Situation	Better template
Human SSO portal login	Credential
Database inside the cloud	Database
Unstructured cloud key JSON	Secure Note

Everyday workflows

One item per service account or automation role.
Store API key and private key in masked fields—never in notes.
Use cloud provider and region for filter chips and search.

Tips and common mistakes

Enable pack first—Cloud Account is not a core builtin.
Do not paste secrets into Secure Note—you lose masking, validation, and share hard-blocks.
Clipboard auto-clear applies to copied secrets—paste within 30 seconds.
