Account Types in WACM

Prev Next

The WACM platform offers numerous account types. The account types you have access to depend on your tier and user permissions.

  • Governance Account

  • Control Account

  • Channel Account

  • Sub-Account

  • Standalone Account

Governance Account

A Governance Account is the top-level account in the WACM hierarchy. It contains multiple Control Accounts. A Governance Account is procured through Wasabi Sales and the WACM AG product. With the WACM AG capability, you can manage multiple Control Accounts through a “single pane of glass”—one area. A Governance Account can manage any tier of account.

Control Account

A Control Account is the second level in the WACM account hierarchy. A Control Account consists of a paying Wasabi account and a related Wasabi Console account that holds your billing information. A Control Account can manage Sub-Accounts and Channel Accounts.

Channel Account

A Channel Account is the third level in the WACM account hierarchy. It is optional and can provide third-party access to WACM. A Channel Account is created by the Control Account user and can create Sub-Accounts that belong to the Channel Account. A Sub-Account cannot see any other Sub-Accounts. Channel Accounts do not have a Wasabi Console account and manage only other Sub-Accounts.

Sub-Account

A Sub-Account—the fourth level in the WACM account hierarchy—is equivalent to a Wasabi Console account. By creating a Sub-Account, you will grant an end user access to a Wasabi Console account. A Sub-Account is the primary account that generates billing and utilization records for all higher-tiered accounts.

Standalone Account

A Standalone Account is the Wasabi Console account that was signed up through the WACM Standalone Account Sign-Up Form. A Standalone Account is not attached to your WACM account and is not billed through your account. If you have Standalone Account capability, the Account will appear on the Standalone Accounts tab in WACM.
