You can create a Sub-Account for a Channel Account from the Sub-Accounts tab. Additionally, you can select the On Trial option to create a trial account.

When you log in to a Channel Account, the Sub-Accounts page is displayed by default.

  1. Click the Create Sub-Account button to create a new sub-account under a Channel Account.

    The Create Sub-Account form is displayed.

  2. Complete the Create Sub-Account form with the sub-account name, email, Wasabi console password, and Storage Quota. The default Quota Type is Soft Quota.

    Sub-Account names for previously deleted Sub-Accounts can be reused.

  3. Select the Storage Quota and enter the amount of storage purchased for this sub-account. The purchased storage is used to calculate the storage utilization value. This amount can be modified at any time in the Sub-Account profile.

    The Quota Type available depends on whether a hard quota or soft quota type is enabled. Most users will have the Soft Quota type enabled. The Quota Type is available from the drop-down. For example:

    • On Trial — Sets the number of Trial Days and Trial Quota amounts. When the trial duration expires, the trial account is automatically converted into a paid account.

  5. If you choose the On Trial option, select the number of Trial Days (30, 60,90) and the Trial Quota (number of TBs).

  6. Click Create.
