# Registration in the control panel

You can [register an account](#sign-up-via-website) via the selectel.ru website; a primary user, the [Account Owner](/access-control/access-management.mdx), will be created. Additional account users can [join the account by invitation](#sign-up-by-invitation) if the Account Owner invites them.

The data you enter during registration will be specified in your profile. The set of data depends on the [account type](#account-types) and [user role](/access-control/access-management.mdx#roles). For more information on how to change user data and roles, see the instructions [Change user data or permissions](/access-control/manage/edit-user-data-or-role.mdx) and [Change your profile or company data](/account/change-profile.mdx).

If you encounter any problems during registration, please contact Technical Support at [support@selectel.ru](mailto:support@selectel.ru).

After registration, you can manage Selectel products via the control panel [my.selectel.ru](https://my.selectel.ru/), [API](/api/authorization/), or [Terraform](/terraform/). Records of resource operations and other events occurring in the account are saved in [audit logs](/audit-logs/about-audit-logs.mdx).

## Account types \{#account-types}

When you sign up, you can choose your account type:

* personal account — for individuals;
* business account — for legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, and government agencies.

The account type and country of residence determine the available [balance top-up methods](/balance-and-payments/manage/top-up-balance.mdx#top-up-methods). You cannot change the account type after registration.

## Register an account in the control panel \{#sign-up-via-website}

After registration, a new account will be created and a user with the [Account Owner](/access-control/access-management.mdx) role will be added.
