Managing an account to minimize the risk of inappropriate login to the account can be done in several ways:
Define the specific IP addresses this an ID may login from. Details how to configure this can be found here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-ips
Limit the number of concurrent sessions an ID may have logged in at 1 time. Details how to configure this can be found here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-iam-work-sessions.
If there a specific IDs that require additional close attention, it is possible to setup an alert in activity tracker event to alert on when a specific user logs in. When a userID is logged in, an event is generated. Login events include the following: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-at_events_iam&locale=en#at_events_iam_login. The subsequent alert can then be assessed if the user ID is logging in at an unexpected time.
