Sub-accounts include sub-users, collaborators, and message recipients. The differences between different types of users are as follows (for more information, please see User Types) :
Sub-user: it is created and fully owned by a root account.
Collaborator: it has the identity of a root account. After it is added as a collaborator of the current root account, it becomes one of the sub-accounts of the current root account and can switch back to its root account identity.
Message recipient: it can only receive messages.
This document describes how to use the root account or admin user to create a sub-account (sub-user/collaborator) in the CAM console and bind it to a permission policy.
To use an admin user to create a sub-account, please create an admin user first and then follow the steps below.
