Changing Account Email from the Cloud Manager

Use the Users & Grants page to modify the email address associated with a user account. The email addresses listed on this page receive IP whitelist warnings, password reset messages, and support tickets for services that their associated users have permission to access. Users with limited account access can also receive invoices and receipts if granted access to that information.

Note

Only full account access users can receive threshold notification emails.

Here’s how to change a user’s email from the Users & Grants page:

1. Click the Account link in the sidebar.

2. Click the Users & Grants tab.

3. Click the User Profile link for the desired user.

4. Enter the updated email address in the Email field.

5. Click Save.

The user’s email address is now updated.

Note

If you do not have full account access, you can view your user profile settings and update your email address by clicking on your username at the top of the Cloud Manager screen and selecting Display.

Using the API

You can also use the Linode API to view and update your account’s email address.

1. Use the View Account endpoint to view your account information including your email address:

   curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
   https://api.linode.com/v4/account
   

2. An example of the output:

   {
     "active_promotions": [
       {
         "credit_monthly_cap": "10.00",
         "credit_remaining": "50.00",
         "description": "Receive up to $10 off your services every month for 6 months! Unused credits will expire once this promotion period ends.",
         "expire_dt": "2018-01-31T23:59:59",
         "image_url": "https://www.linode.com/10_a_month_promotion.svg",
         "summary": "$10 off your Linode a month!",
         "this_month_credit_remaining": "10.00"
       }
     ],
     "active_since": "2018-01-01T00:01:01",
     "address_1": "123 Main Street",
     "address_2": "Suite A",
     "balance": 200,
     "balance_uninvoiced": 145,
     "capabilities": [],
     "city": "Philadelphia",
     "credit_card": {
       "last_four": 1111,
       "expiry": "11/2022"
     },
     "company": "Linode LLC",
     "country": "US",
     "email": "john.smith@example.com",
     "first_name": "John",
     "last_name": "Smith",
     "phone": "215-555-1212",
     "state": "Pennsylvania",
     "tax_id": "ATU99999999",
     "euuid": "E1AF5EEC-526F-487D-B317EBEB34C87D71",
     "zip": 19102
   }

3. To update your email address, use the Update Account endpoint:

   curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
   -X PUT -d '{
   "email": "jsmith@example.com"
   }
   }' \
   https://api.linode.com/v4/account
   

4. The output will be mostly the same, but this time, the email field will be updated with your new email address:

   {
     "active_promotions": [
       {
         "credit_monthly_cap": "10.00",
         "credit_remaining": "50.00",
         "description": "Receive up to $10 off your services every month for 6 months! Unused credits will expire once this promotion period ends.",
         "expire_dt": "2018-01-31T23:59:59",
         "image_url": "https://www.linode.com/10_a_month_promotion.svg",
         "summary": "$10 off your Linode a month!",
         "this_month_credit_remaining": "10.00"
       }
     ],
     "active_since": "2018-01-01T00:01:01",
     "address_1": "123 Main Street",
     "address_2": "Suite A",
