Account Types for WACM Connect

The WACM ecosystem has numerous account types, and you should be familiar with each. These accounts reflect the tabs you see in WACM. The account types you can access will depend on your tier and user permissions.

• Governance Account

• Control Account

• Channel Account

• Sub-Account

• Console Account (or simply, Account)

Governance Account

A Governance Account is the top-level account in the WACM hierarchy. It contains multiple Control Accounts. A Governance Account is procured through Wasabi Sales and the WACM AG product. With WACM AG capability, you can have a “single pane of glass”—one area—to manage multiple Control Accounts. A Governance Account can manage any tier of account.

Control Account

A Control Account is the second level in the WACM account hierarchy. A Control Account consists of a paying Wasabi account and a related Wasabi Console account with your billing information. A Control Account can manage Sub-Accounts and Channel Accounts.

Channel Account

A Channel Account is the third level in the WACM account hierarchy. It is optional and can provide third-party access to WACM. Created by the Control Account user, a Channel Account user can create Sub-Accounts that belong to the Channel Account. A Sub-Account cannot see any other Sub-Accounts. Channel Accounts do not have a Wasabi Console account and only manage other Sub-Accounts.

Subaccount

A Sub-Account—the fourth level in the WACM account hierarchy—is synonymous with a Wasabi Console account. By creating a Sub-Account, you will provide an end user with access to a Wasabi Console account. A Sub-Account is the main account that creates billing/utilization records for all higher-tiered accounts.

Account

An Account is the Wasabi Console account that signed up through the standalone Sign Up page. An Account is not attached to your WACM account and is not billed through your account. If you have Standalone Account capability, the Account will appear on the Standalone Accounts tab in WACM.
