A file server account gives one account-holder isolated SFTP access to a single Celigo Storage folder. Each account has a username, a home folder, and a password that you set. The account-holder sees only their home folder subtree and has full access inside it — list, download, upload, create folders, rename, overwrite, and delete. Only account owners and administrators can create and manage file server accounts.
Create one account per account-holder. Isolated accounts let you revoke one account-holder's access without affecting others and keep each account-holder's files in a folder your flows can target directly.
Important
Prerequisites:
- The file server is enabled for the environment (see Enable a Celigo-hosted file server).
- The Celigo Storage folder you plan to use as the home folder exists (see Create folders and upload files in integrator.io).
Create an account
- Select an environment.
- Go to Resources
> File storage, then select File server from the top of the page.
- Select Accounts from the left side of the page.
- Select Create account.
- Enter a Username. The account-holder signs in as
<username>@<identifier>. Use 3–32 characters - letters, numbers, or hyphens only. The username must be unique on this file server. - Select the Home folder for this account. Access is restricted to this folder and its contents. You can safely rename or move the folder at any time without disrupting access. To grant access to multiple folders, set up separate accounts.
- Set a Password (12–100 characters, including at least one uppercase letter and one number). Copy and save it securely now — for security reasons, Celigo encrypts the password and will never display it again.
- Save the account, and then send the account-holder their connection details (see Connect to a Celigo-hosted SFTP file server).
Disable, delete, or update an account
You can edit, disable, or delete an account after you create it, and replace its password at any time.
- Select an environment.
- Go to Resources
- Select Accounts from the left side of the page.
- Select an account from the list and make your desired changes. You have the following options:
- Revoke access — Stops the account-holder's access immediately, including any active session. The account and its configuration are retained, and the home folder's contents are untouched.
- Edit account > replace the password — Revokes access immediately, including active sessions, until the account-holder reconnects with the new password. Use this if a credential may have been exposed.
- Delete — Removes the account permanently. The home folder and its files remain in Celigo Storage.
Account creation, edits, disabling, deletion, and every password set or replacement are recorded in the platform audit log, attributed to the user who made the change. Account-holder sign-ins and file operations are not currently recorded (see Celigo-hosted file server overview).
How the home folder interacts with storage management
Because a home folder anchors an account-holder's access, Celigo Storage protects it:
- The folder's Used by view lists the file server accounts homed in it (see Work with files and folders in integrator.io).
- You can't delete a folder whose subtree contains any account's home folder. Move each affected account to a different home folder or disable it first. The same delete through the API or a flow step fails with an error listing the blocking accounts.
- Renaming or moving the home folder is safe — the account follows the folder's stable ID.
