# Onboarding an Existing Sub-Account to CCC

> The following instructions apply to onboarding an existing sub-account. To add members to a newly created sub-account, refer to [Adding Custom Cloud Console Members to a New Sub-Account](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/adding-custom-cloud-console-members-to-a-sub-account).

The Custom Cloud Console requires S3 keys that are generated at sub-account creation in WACM. Since existing sub-accounts were created previously, you will be required to enter valid Root access keys or reset the Root access keys for the existing account. There are a few options:

- [Enter Root access keys by sub-account](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/onboarding-an-existing-sub-account-to-custom-cloud-console#entering-root-access-keys-by-subaccount)
- [Reset and generate new Root access keys by sub-account](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/onboarding-an-existing-sub-account-to-custom-cloud-console#resetting-and-generating-new-root-access-keys-by-subaccount)
- [Reset Root access keys by control account](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/onboarding-an-existing-sub-account-to-custom-cloud-console#resetting-root-access-keys-by-control-account)

## Entering Root Access Keys by Sub-Account

As a sub-account:

1. Sign in to the Custom Cloud Console.
2. Click **Settings** and then click the **Access Keys** tab.
