Link game namespaces to an AMS account

Overview​

When an AMS account is created from a game namespace, the account is automatically linked to that namespace. AMS supports account linking across game namespaces to share resources such as server images, observability account and metrics, and a billing account.

To link an AMS account to a game namespace, follow these steps, in this order:

  1. Generate linking token from a linked game namespace.
  2. Link AMS account to an unlinked game namespace.

Generate linking token from linked game namespace​

  1. In the AGS Admin Portal, go into the game namespace where you created your AMS account.

  2. On the sidebar, go to any of the components under the AccelByte Multiplayer Servers menu (e.g., Fleet Manager).

  3. In the upper-right corner on the page of your selected component, you will see AMS Account: <account name and info>. Click or your account name. The AMS Account page appears.

  4. Click the + Generate New Linking button.

  5. On the New Linking Token pop-up that appears, copy the linking token.

    note

    This token will expire after the date and time shown on this pop-up.

You will apply this linking token to an unlinked game namespace to link the AMS account to that namespace. Proceed to the next section.

  1. In the AGS Admin Portal, go to the unlinked game namespace.
  2. On the sidebar, go to AccelByte Multiplayer Servers > Set up AMS Account.
  3. On the Setup AMS Account page, click Already have an AMS Account? to expand it.
  4. Enter (paste) your linking token into the Linking Token field and click the Link button.
  5. On the Link AMS Account confirmation pop-up, type in the name of your game namespace in the field and click the Link button.

Your game namespace is now linked with your AMS account.

Verify linked game namespaces​

To check if a game namespace has an AMS account linked to it, follow these steps:

  1. In the AGS Admin Portal, go into the game namespace that you want to check.
  2. On the sidebar, under ADD-ONS, select AccelByte Multiplayer Servers.
  3. Verify that the namespace is linked to an AMS account.
    • If an account is linked to the namespace, the full functionality and user interface for AMS will be enabled under the AccelByte Multiplayer Servers menu on the Admin Portal sidebar.
    • If an account is NOT linked to this namespace, AccelByte Multiplayer Servers will only have the Setup AMS Account option.

What's next​

Now that you have set up your AMS account, refer to the Download CLI tools from the Admin Portal page to get the AMS tools you'll need for your local development environment.
