Account
Account settings belong to the individual user rather than the organization, and are available to any Satcat account with or without an Operations subscription. They are managed in Control Center, alongside the organization-wide settings covered in Organization Settings.
Profile
Edit Profile Details sets the account's Name, Email, and Institution.
Multi-factor authentication uses an authenticator app, and reports as MFA enabled or MFA not set up.
An account and its data can be deleted from Profile. This cannot be undone.
Notifications
Notifications are configured per category and delivered by email, by SMS to a Phone number, or to a Webhook URL. A webhook receives a JSON object with a text key.
Categories include Critical Alerts for conjunction events, geomagnetic storm alerts, and New FDS solution available for orbit determination.
Critical Alerts carries its own thresholds, so an alert fires only for conjunction events that meet them:
- MD total threshold and MD component threshold
- Days to TCA and Max days to TCA
- Cadence, which sets how often an alert repeats while the conditions hold
API Keys
An API key authenticates the Satcat SDK, the CLI, and the REST API for actions such as uploading ephemeris, running screening jobs, and reading CDMs and analytics products.
Generate New Key creates one. Each key lists its API key name, Client ID, Date Created, and Date Updated, and carries three actions:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Edit Key Name | Renames the key. Nothing using it is affected |
| Rotate API Key Secret | Issues a new secret. Anything using the old secret stops working until it is updated |
| Delete API Key | Removes the key permanently. Anything using it loses access immediately |
A key's secret is shown once, when the key is generated or rotated.
