# Managing IBM watsonx #

As the owner or an administrator of the IBM Cloud account, you can monitor and manage services and the platform\.

<!-- </ul> -->

An IBM Cloud account administrator is a user in the account who was assigned the **Administrator** role in IBM Cloud for the All Identity and Access enabled services option in IAM\. If you're not sure of your roles, see [Determine your roles](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/admin/your-roles.html)\.

You perform some administrative tasks within IBM watsonx, and others in IBM Cloud\. Some tasks require steps in both areas, depending on your goals\.

## Configuring services ##

The services that are included in watsonx\.ai are Watson Studio and Watson Machine Learning\.

## Switch service region ##

The platform and services are available in multiple IBM Cloud service regions and you can have services in more than one region\. Your projects, catalogs, and data are specific to the region in which they were saved and can be accessed only from your services in that region\. If you provision Watson Studio services in both the Dallas and the Frankfurt regions, you can't access projects that you created in the Frankfurt region from the Dallas region\.

To switch your service region:

<!-- <ol> -->

1.  Log in to IBM watsonx\.
2.  Click the **Region Switcher**![Region Switcher icon](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/console/images/region_switcher.png) in the home page header\.
3.  Select the region that contains your services and projects\.

<!-- </ol> -->

For wider browsers, you can select the region from the dropdown menu\.
