CAM users are identities you create in Tencent Cloud. Each CAM user is associated with only one Tencent Cloud account. The Tencent Cloud account you registered is the root account. You can also create sub-accounts with custom permissions in Users to help you manage your Tencent Cloud resources. There are 3 types of sub-account: sub-users, collaborators and message recipients.
