# auth (/docs/cli/auth)

Sign in to your Prisma account from the CLI, sign out, and manage workspace sessions.

Location: CLI > auth

Use `auth` commands to manage authentication for the platform commands. Signing in opens a browser flow and stores a session. Every platform command in that environment reuses that session.

## Usage

#### bun

```bash
bunx prisma auth login
bunx prisma auth whoami
```

#### pnpm

```bash
pnpm prisma auth login
pnpm prisma auth whoami
```

#### yarn

```bash
yarn prisma auth login
yarn prisma auth whoami
```

#### npm

```bash
npx prisma auth login
npx prisma auth whoami
```

## Commands

| Command                              | Description                                           |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `auth login`                         | Log in to your Prisma platform account (browser flow) |
| `auth logout`                        | Clear stored authentication credentials               |
| `auth whoami`                        | Show the authenticated user and accessible workspace  |
| `auth workspace list`                | List your workspace sessions                          |
| `auth workspace use [id-or-name]`    | Make one of your workspace sessions current           |
| `auth workspace logout <id-or-name>` | End one workspace session                             |

`auth login` signs you in through the browser. Afterward, anything running in that environment inherits the session, including coding agents. For CI, set [`PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN`](/guides/introduction-6-environment-variables) instead.
