    • Account Email — Email of the sub-account.

    • Trial Expiration — Date and time that the trial expires, which is displayed if the account in On Trial.
    • Status — Indicating the sub-account status as On Trial, Paid, 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 Suspended, this column entry will be gray.

    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. 

    Searching and Filtering Sub-Accounts

    You can search and filter all control account and channel account 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 the Filter By drop-down. You can select one or a combination of filters.
      For Control Accounts — Filter by: Status (Deleted, On Trial, or Paid Account), Channel Account (choose from the list), or check the Show Deleted Accounts box.
      For Channel Accounts — Filter by: Status (Deleted, On Trial, or Paid Account) or check the Show Deleted Accounts box.

    For example, the Sub-Accounts page for a Control Account shows the Filter By drop-down options for Status, Channel Account, and Show Deleted Accounts.

    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 is going to 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).

    If it is desired that sub-accounts manage their own password reset, 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).
