### Can I move a Project to another account?
At this time, it is not possible to move a Project from one account to another.

## Access and security

### My account is locked. What should I do?
If your account is locked, [contact our Support team](https://console.scaleway.com/support/tickets/create) to find out why it was locked and how to regain access.

### I cannot access my account, but I am still being billed. How do I resolve this?
First, you must contact the Support team to help you [unlock your account](/account/troubleshooting/cannot-log-into-my-account/). Once you have regained access, identify what resources are still running and delete them. You can also [close your account](/account/how-to/close-account), and have all your remaining resources automatically shut down.

### I received a message saying that you have detected unusual activity on my account. What should I do?
This type of error requires manual intervention from our agents. Contact our Support team via a ticket, informing us of the message you received, and requesting details about the lock and how to solve the problem.

### How can I report spam content that I received?
You can report spam easily by installing the Signal Spam plugin, which is available for web browsers, email clients, and iOS devices. The plugin, represented by an owl-shaped button, allows you to flag unwanted emails or malicious URLs (such as phishing or scams) directly from your inbox.

When you report spam, your information is processed in real-time and shared with authorized entities that can take appropriate actions, such as identifying spammers, enforcing legal measures, and blacklisting harmful URLs. While Signal Spam does not filter emails or act as an antivirus, your reports help improve security measures and contribute to a safer online environment.

To get started, install the [plugin](https://www.signal-spam.fr/en/nos-modules/) (available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera browsers and Mac Mail, Outlook, and Thunderbird mail clients) or follow the official reporting path at [Signal Spam](https://www.signal-spam.fr/en/parcours-signalant/) for further support.

### I don't seem to have access to my Organization's resources. What should I do?
If you do not have access to certain Organization resources, you might not have the necessary [IAM](/iam/concepts/#iam) **permission set**.

[Read the documentation on permission sets](/iam/reference-content/permission-sets/) to learn more about the different access levels.

Contact an Organization Owner or a Member with the necessary permissions to request rights to the resources you need to access.

## Quotas and limitations

### How can I get more quotas?
You can get more quotas by adding and verifying your [payment method](/billing/how-to/add-payment-method/) and [identity](/account/how-to/verify-identity/).

If you have already completed these two steps and still need an increase in quotas, contact our [Support team](https://console.scaleway.com/support/tickets/create) and inform them which product you need more quotas for.

It is not possible to disable SIP on a hosted Mac mini. Disabling SIP requires **physical access to the machine** because of macOS’s security model, which involves pressing the Mac’s power button to adjust security settings.

If your application depends on SIP being disabled, the recommended workaround is to **run macOS in a virtual machine** where SIP can be disabled.

## General
## Overview

### What is Clusters for Apache Kafka®?

Clusters for Apache Kafka® is Scaleway's product to provide a secure, fully-managed infrastructure for your Apache Kafka® deployments. With our clusters, you can create data pipelines and event-driven architectures that run natively on Apache Kafka®, without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. This product is currently in Public Beta.

### How do I use my cluster, and how can I connect to it?

To use your cluster, you first [connect](/clusters-for-kafka/how-to/connect-to-cluster/) via the Kafka CLI or any Kafka-supported programming language. The connection is secured, and requires the appropriate credentials, certificate, and endpoint provided by Scaleway. All configuration is done through a Kafka client, allowing you to manage topics, producers, and consumers easily. This flexibility ensures seamless integration with your applications and workflows.

### What limitations apply during the Public Beta?

The following limitations apply to Clusters for Apache Kafka® in its current Public Beta phase:

- Only one Kafka version is supported.
- Clusters can only be provisioned with either one or three nodes (brokers).
- The number of nodes cannot be modified after creation of the cluster.
- Connectivity to the cluster is facilitated exclusively through Private Networks.
- Only one set of credentials (username and password) can be created per cluster.

We aim to improve and develop the product based on feedback received during the beta stage.

### Is Scaleway's Clusters for Apache Kafka® based on the open-source Kafka framework?

Yes, Scaleway's Clusters for Apache Kafka is built on the open-source Apache Kafka framework. We use the Kafka API to ensure compatibility and leverage the robust features of the open-source ecosystem.

## How is my environmental footprint calculated?
## Overview

### How is my environmental footprint calculated?

Our calculation methodology was developed in collaboration with the green IT specialist consultancy firm [IJO](https://ijo.tech/index.html), ensuring a rigorous and expert-validated approach to assessing environmental impact accurately and transparently.

Our methodology is based on the ADEME (French Government Agency for Ecological Transition) [Product Category Rules (PCR) for Datacenter and Cloud services](https://librairie.ademe.fr/produire-autremenqt6105-methodological-standard-for-the-environmental-assessment-of-datacenter-it-hosting-services-and-cloud-services.html), which provide a standardized framework for calculating and reporting the environmental impact of data centers and cloud services. These rules are designed to ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability in the assessment of environmental footprints across the industry.

Refer to the [environmental footprint calculation breakdown](/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-calculator) for a detailed report of how our calculations are made and what data is used.

## Why does my environmental impact data vary over time?
### Why does my environmental impact data vary over time?

Your environmental impact data may change due to updates in the energy mix of data center locations, adjustments to PUE, or enhancements in our calculation methodology. These updates ensure that your reports reflect the most accurate and up-to-date information, enhancing transparency and trust in our reporting system.
