WACM is a cloud-hosted platform that requires no on premises software. Wasabi's Account Control Manager (WACM) offers a user-friendly, centralized management interface for automating cloud storage account creation, management, and end-user billing.
The Custom Cloud Console is a hosted web-based S3 browser that Wasabi Account Control Manager customers can white label as their own. Sub-accounts use it to access and manage their Wasabi Storage with your brand front and center.

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 paid.
- 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 be selected 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).
