    How does a Governance user create Sub Accounts on behalf of an MSP/VAR Control Account?

    If you have a WACM account, log in to the platform here: https://wacm.wasabisys.com/en/wasabi/auth/login

    A pre-requisite of this article is: What are the differences between Governance roles?

    The WACM Account Governance feature enables some Governance users with the ability to create Sub-Accounts on behalf of MSPs, VARs, or any other users of Wasabi Account Control Manager. A user must be either the role of a Governance Plus Admin or Governance Plus Staff in order to create Sub-Accounts for a Control Account. 

    Once you are logged in as one of these user types, follow the steps that a Control Account would take to create a Sub-Account:

    1. Navigate to the "Sub-Accounts" tab.

    2. Select "Create Sub-Account".
