# Product Guide for Sub-Accounts

The *Product Guide for Sub-Accounts* provides partners and MSPs with instructions for monitoring usage, managing storage resources, configuring account settings, and reviewing billing details for Sub-Accounts. A Sub-Account is an individually provisioned child storage account managed under a single parent Control Account or Channel Account. A Sub-Account has access to the Wasabi Console but not to WACM.

When you sign in to WACM as a Control Account or Channel Account Admin, the Sub-Accounts page is displayed by default.

## Tier 3 - Sub-Accounts (End-Customer / Linked Accounts)

A Sub-Account is a Tier 3 operational tier account in the WACM account hierarchy and is a child account linked to a Tier 1 Control Account (enterprise model) or Tier 2 Channel Account (partner model). It is the operational environment where storage resources are created, configured, and consumed.

When linked to a Control Account, Sub-Accounts inherit governance policies from the parent Control Account. Linked accounts generate usage and billing data, which roll up to the Control Account for centralized visibility.

When linked to a Channel Account, Sub-Accounts typically represent end customers. The Channel Account provisions, manages, and monitors these end-customer accounts, and usage and billing data are rolled up for aggregated visibility.
