    Requesting Support Through the Couchbase Capella UI

    Support tickets are created and managed on the Support tab. A summary of the organization’s support tickets is displayed here.

    Support tickets can be viewed and created by any user with the Organization Member role.

    If you’re a free tier plan user, you’re unable to create a support ticket. You’re community-supported. Use the Couchbase forums, discord channel and documentation for community support and feedback.

    For more support options, upgrade your plan.
