Parent and child accounts for Akamai partners

The parent and child accounts feature was designed with ​Akamai​ partners and their end customers in mind. Partners benefit from this feature because it allows them to manage multiple end customers’ accounts with a single login for their company’s account. Partner's end customers can authorize partners to manage their compute entities and account.

This feature is only available for ​Akamai​ partners and their end customers with an Akamai Cloud contract. To learn more about it, contact your ​Akamai​ representative.

The parent and child relationship doesn’t restrict users of those accounts from creating support tickets or signing up for managed services for their accounts. Also, all actions performed on parent and child accounts are logged just like any other regular event. However, child account administrators can't modify billing settings on their accounts.

Depending on whether you're an ​Akamai​ partner or a partner’s end customer, this feature has different implications. Select your position to go to content that applies to you.
