Summary

Updates docs to reflect new nav changes in cloud UI.
Rel docs issue: https://github.com/elastic/docs-content-internal/issues/1766

Side nav reorg

Lots of items in the nav moved around to new sections (listed here). In most cases, I opted to exclude subsections and just document the top-level section > target page (e.g. Organization > Identity and access > Members) to future-proof in case subsections are moved again. The subsections are not clickable in the UI anyway.

Rel cloud UI PR: https://github.com/elastic/cloud-ui/pull/4127

Reset password path (ECH and ECE)

Previously, users could reset their password from their deployment's Security page or Overview > Actions menu. The Security path is going away now.

Rel cloud UI PR: https://github.com/elastic/cloud-ui/pull/4279

Bonus

I found a bunch of ECH/ECE “reset the password” links that pointed to the self-managed built-in users page, which then directed cloud users to the ECH/ECE page (2 steps later). Fixed to point to the ECH/ECE page directly.

If this instruction is still relevant to users on earlier versions of the stack, add applies_to tag. Looks like there's a handful of similar instances across this PR, so flagging it here instead of dropping individual comments throughout.

2. Go to your avatar in the upper right corner and choose **Organization**.
3. On the **API keys** tab of the **Organization** page, click **Create API key**.

Directing users towards the global search bar is also a good strategy for future-proofing nav-related content. I entered "API keys" into the search bar for a stack deployment and serverless project, and got the same result for both.

Here's one option:

Suggested change
2. From the navigation menu, select **Organization** > **API keys**.
2. From the navigation menu, select **Organization** **API keys**. You can also search for **API keys** in the [global search bar](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects.md).

Another, more succint version:

Suggested change
2. From the navigation menu, select **Organization** > **API keys**.
2. Search for **API keys** in the [global search bar](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects.md).

In {{kib}}, go to **Agent Builder** → **Tools library**, click **Manage MCP**, and select **Manage MCP clients (OAuth)** to confirm the connection count for your client has increased. If you don't see it within a minute of authorizing, refresh the page.

You can also check your connection in the {{ecloud}} Console at **Organization** → **Security settings** → **Application connections**.
You can also check your connection in the {{ecloud}} Console at **Organization** → **Application connections**.

### Basic authentication [ec_basic_authentication]

For basic authentication, use the same deployment credentials (`username` and `password` parameters) and Cloud ID you copied down earlier when you created your deployment. (If you did not save the password, you can [reset the password](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/built-in-users.md) .)

you renamed this link in other pages but not this one. Was this expected?
