# Getting service account info

You can get information about a service account, such as its name and ID, creation and last authentication dates, and its roles in the folder.

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/layout-side-content-left.svg) or ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/chevron-down.svg) in the top panel and select the folder the service account belongs to.
  1. From the list of services, select **Identity and Access Management**.
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![FaceRobot](../../../_assets/console-icons/face-robot.svg) **Service accounts**.
  1. In the list that opens, select the service account you need.
  1. The **Overview** page will list the service account's parameters:

     * **ID** of the service account as a string in `aje9sb6ffd2u********` format.
     * **Name**.
     * **Date created**.
     * **Date of last authentication**.
     * **Roles in folder**.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  Get a list of service accounts in the default folder:

  ```bash
  yc iam service-account list
  ```

  Result:

  ```
  +----------------------+--------------+--------+---------------------+-----------------------+
  |          ID          |     NAME     | LABELS |     CREATED AT      | LAST AUTHENTICATED AT |
  +----------------------+--------------+--------+---------------------+-----------------------+
  | ajeg2b2et02f******** | my-robot     |        | 2024-09-08 18:59:45 | 2025-02-18 10:10:00   |
  | ajegtlf2q28a******** | account-name |        | 2023-06-27 16:18:18 | 2025-02-18 10:20:00   |
  +----------------------+--------------+--------+---------------------+-----------------------+
  ```

  Get information about a service account using the `get` command:

  ```bash
  yc iam service-account get <service_account_ID>
  ```
  
  Result:

  ```
  id: aje6o61dvog2********
  folder_id: jbmsjns93hj8********
  created_at: "2024-09-09T20:15:19Z"
  name: service-account
  last_authenticated_at: "2024-09-19T18:05:06Z"
  ```

  Where:

  * `id`: Service account ID.
  * `folder_id`: Folder ID.
  * `created_at`: Service account creation date and time.
  * `name: service-account`: Service account name.
  * `last_authenticated_at`: Last authentication date and time.

- API {#api}

  1. [Find out the ID of the folder](../../../resource-manager/operations/folder/get-id.md) where the service account was created.
  1. Get information about the service accounts in the folder using the [list](../../api-ref/ServiceAccount/list.md) REST API method for the [ServiceAccount](../../api-ref/ServiceAccount/index.md) resource:

      ```bash
      export FOLDER_ID=b1gvmob95yys********
      export IAM_TOKEN=CggaATEVAgA...
      curl \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer ${IAM_TOKEN}" \
        "https://iam.api.cloud.yandex.net/iam/v1/serviceAccounts?folderId=${FOLDER_ID}"
      ```

      Result:

      ```text
      {
       "serviceAccounts": [
        {
         "id": "ajebqtreob2d********",
         "folderId": "b1gvmob95yys********",
         "createdAt": "2018-10-18T13:42:40Z",
         "name": "my-robot",
         "description": "my description"
        }
       ]
      }
      ```

     You can also get information about the service accounts in the folder using the [ServiceAccountService/List](../../api-ref/grpc/ServiceAccount/list.md) gRPC API call.
