Channel Accounts enable you to grant WACM access to additional users, who can create and oversee a subset of sub-accounts within your Control Account. These Channel Accounts only have access to the sub-accounts they create or are assigned to them.
Depending on how you signed in to WACM, as a Control Account or a Channel Account user, determines which Sub-Account settings and components are available in the Account Information module.
When you sign in to WACM, you are presented with the Control Accounts landing page. In the Navigation bar, select the Accounts drop-down menu and select Channel Accounts. The Channel Accounts page is displayed.
Select a Channel Account from the list to access the Account module.
The Account page is displayed by default, showing Account Information for the selected Channel Account.

Account Overview
The Account Overview section provides essential details about the account, including its name, status, partner type, and account type. In this section, you can update the account name and choose a different Channel Account. You can also delete the Channel Account by clicking the X symbol.
Channel Account Tracking
The Channel Account Tracking section displays storage usage relative to the assigned quota. In this section, you can change the quota type and the storage quota.
Quota Type
The Quota Type field indicates:
Hard Quota—Enforces the storage quota limit and prevents further use once the limit is reached or exceeded. A block will be placed on all future uploads to that account, causing any uploads in progress or those scheduled to be uploaded to fail. The storage quota must be increased or the limit removed to lift the block.
Soft Quota—Does not enforce storage quota limits. It triggers a notification when the storage quota limit is reached or exceeded.
Storage Quota
The Storage Quota field indicates the amount of storage purchased or allocated for this Sub-Account. This option can be updated at any time. However, it is not accessible to Sub-Accounts in the trial phase (On Trial).
WACM Connect API Key
WACM Connect is the exclusive way to access the WACM API. The API key allows easy retrieval of WACM data for automation and can be rotated or deleted as needed for security.
Contact Information
The Contact Information section provides editable fields for contact and billing details for this account, including address, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Business Information
The Business Information section provides editable fields for billing and tax identifiers for this account, including business number, tax ID, fiscal number, VAT number, and website URL.
Defaults
The Defaults section allows you to set a storage quota value for all Sub-Accounts at once.
The Sub-Account Default Storage Quota field allows you to assign a set amount of purchased storage to a Sub-Account, except for those that have already been modified. This amount can be changed at any time, and all Sub-Accounts that have not been modified previously will be updated to the new value.
Delete Channel Account
To delete a Channel Account, click Delete. In the confirmation dialog that appears, type DELETE, then click Delete.
Deleting a Channel Account DOES NOT delete the sub-accounts. All sub-accounts under a Channel Account will remain under the responsibility of the Control Account.
