Sub-Accounts in Wasabi Account Control Manager

Sub-Accounts Overview

Sub-accounts and Channel accounts can be centrally managed from a single Control Account.

The Sub-Accounts page provides an overview of the following:

• Data Cards
• New Sign-up Requests
• My Control Account
• Single-Day Date Picker
• Importing Sub-Accounts into WACM
• Searching and Filtering Sub-Accounts
• Best Practices

 Following is an example of the Sub-Accounts page accessed from a Control Account. 

The following information is provided for each sub-account:

• Name — Name of the sub-account. This is based on the name you assign when filling out the Create Sub-Account field.
• Account Email — Email for the sub-account.
• Active Storage — Storage made up of the objects you are currently storing.
• Deleted Storage — Storage made up of the objects you have deleted.
• Storage Utilization — Percentage of storage amount used based on the configured purchased storage value. (Sub-Account Active + Deleted Storage) / Purchased Storage 
• Creation Date — The date that the sub-account was created.
• Trial Expiration — The date and time the trial expires, which is displayed if the account is On Trial.
• Status — Indicating the sub-account status as Deleted, Denied, On Trial, Paid Account, Password Pending, or Suspended. If the account is On Trial, you will see a colored countdown. If the account is Paid, this column entry will be green. If the account is Deleted, this column entry will be pink.
• Record Date — The date sub-account usage was recorded.

Data Cards

Sub-account data cards provide a quick overview of important sub-account metrics. 

The following information is provided for sub-account data cards:

Total Storage — The total storage of sub-accounts and control accounts.

Total Objects — The total number of active and deleted objects. 

Single-Day Date Picker

The Single-Day Date Picker allows Control Account and Governance Account users to select a specific date to view sub-account utilization data from the main Sub-Account tab and on an individual Sub-Account's bucket tab. Governance Account users can access the Single-Day Date Picker on the Control Account tab to view Sub-Account storage per Control Account.

Importing Sub-Accounts into WACM

WACM automatically synchronizes accounts to import all sub-accounts. Sub-accounts and all associated data created through the Wasabi Account Control API will be synchronized each night into the platform. 

If you believe your accounts are not syncing properly from the Wasabi Account Control API, please contact support@wasabi.com.

Searching and Filtering Sub-Accounts

You can search and filter all sub-accounts.

1. In the Search box on the Sub-Accounts page, enter the text that you want to search. The search takes place as you type.
2. To further filter your search, select one or a combination of filters from the Filter By drop-down: Status (Deleted, Denied, On Trial, Paid Account, Password Pending, or Suspended), search a Channel Account, or check the Show Deleted Accounts box. 

Best Practices

Trial Accounts

Trial accounts are created for 30, 60, or 90 days. The allowed WACM user can change the trial period.

When the trial expires, the trial account is automatically converted into a paid account.

• It is recommended that the WACM user deletes a trial account before it has expired if the data stored during the trial phase will be used once the account is a paid account.
• There is no way to avoid this automatic conversion, except by extending the trial up to 90 days or by deleting the sub-account.

Paid Accounts

It is important to always keep in mind the status of the sub-account. This could lead to unexpected costs. If you intend to delete the sub-account, do not leave it as Suspended (see Suspending a Sub-Account). Make sure all of the data is deleted from within the account on the Wasabi Console and then proceed to delete it in WACM.

Security

It is recommended that the Password Reset Required option is selected in order to force the account holder to reset their password upon initial login. (Refer to Resetting a User Password.)

Email Alerts

Emails that contain alerts or warnings will be sent to the Admin account that receives emails (the first Admin account created).

Suppose it is desired that sub-accounts manage their own password reset. In that case, it is recommended that you input a legitimate email when prompted in the sub-account setup and select the option Send password reset to Sub-Account email (see Creating a Sub-Account in the Trail Phase).
