# Accounts

Ethernal will pull available accounts on the workspace server and display them there along with their balance.

If you click on the address, you'll be able to see the transaction history.

You'll be able to use any of the accounts listed here when interacting with contracts.

### Unlocked Accounts

To add an unlocked account and start using it, you can use the "Add Account" button.\
No verification is made to make sure the account is available, so you'll need to check that before.

### Private Keys

If you set up a private key for an account, it will be used for every read & write request from it.

### Impersonate Accounts

You can also impersonate accounts from this page ("Add Account" button).

This tries to call `evm_unlockUnknownAccount` and then `hardhat_impersonateAccount`, if one of them succeed the account is added to the list, its token balance will be displayed for detected tokens, and you'll be able to use it to call contracts methods.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.tryethernal.com/dashboard-pages/accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
