Service accounts in Fireworks allow applications, scripts, and automated systems to authenticate and perform actions securely—without relying on human credentials. They are ideal for CI/CD pipelines, backend services, and automated workflows. Service Accounts let you avoid shared credentials and easily distinguish between what automated systems did vs humans in audit logs.

Creating a Service Account

Using our firectl you can create service accounts
firectl create user --user-id "my-service-account" --service-account

Creating an API Key for Service Account

Using our firectl you can create an api key on behalf of a service account
firectl create api-key --service-account "my-service-account"

Billing

  • Service accounts count toward the same account quotas and limits assigned to the account
  • Usage is tracked by the account, not individual user vs service account

Auditing

In audit logs users are referenced by their email id’s. Service accounts are referenced by my-service-account@my-account.sa.fireworks.ai.
