# Use Cloud Service Provider Accounts

You can automatically create the required service accounts and roles in your cloud accounts to integrate Prisma Cloud with your cloud service providers.

1. Log into Prisma Cloud.
2. Go to **Settings > Cloud Accounts**.

3. Complete the onboarding cloud account wizard to use the service accounts and roles when configuring Compute. These accounts and roles are collectively called credentials.
4. Before using a credential it needs to become read-only in Compute. To find the surfaced credentials open the **Compute** tab. You can only update or delete credentials in **Settings > Cloud Accounts**. Deleting surfaced credentials in the **Compute** tab credentials store only removes them from the table.
5. Go to to the **Runtime Security > Defend > Authentication** tab.
6. Click **Add Credential**.
7. In **Type**, select **Prisma Cloud**.
8. Select all credentials you want to use.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/content-collections/runtime-security/cloud-service-providers/use-cloud-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
