## Overview

Spinifex supports multi-tenant account isolation. Each account gets its own IAM credentials, AWS CLI profile, and isolated resource namespace.

## Instructions

## Create Account

```bash
./bin/spx admin account create --name myteam
export AWS_PROFILE=spinifex-myteam
```

## Verify

```bash
aws sts get-caller-identity
```

## Troubleshooting

## Credentials not working

Verify the AWS CLI configuration files exist and contain the correct profile:

```bash
cat ~/.aws/config
cat ~/.aws/credentials
```

Ensure the `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable matches the profile name:

```bash
echo $AWS_PROFILE
export AWS_PROFILE=spinifex-myteam
```
