Linking a cloud to a subaccount
If the customer has previously used Yandex Cloud resources and has an existing cloud, you can link this cloud to the partner subaccount. You should do this only after confirming the partnership; otherwise, the operation of your resources in the cloud may be suspended. Make sure the customer has confirmed they are willing to work with you and has the Active status on the partner portal.
Alert
A cloud not linked to the customer subaccount will not refer to the partner. The customer will pay for it separately to Yandex Cloud.
You can link a customer's cloud to a partner subaccount on the partner portal or using the management console. To create a link, you will need the following roles:
- For the billing account:
billing.accounts.owner,admin, oreditor. - For a cloud:
resource-manager.clouds.owner.
To link a cloud on the customer side:
- In the management console, click All services.
- Select Yandex Cloud Billing.
- Select an account from the list.
- Go to the Account data page.
- Under Clouds, click Link cloud.
- Select the cloud from the list.
- Click Link and the added cloud will appear on the list.
- If you transferred a cloud, pay any outstanding charges on the old account.
To prevent the partner from linking a customer's cloud on their own, revoke the roles for resources from the partner. Learn more about roles in Yandex Cloud.
On the partner side, a customer's cloud can be linked on the partner's management console home page as described in the Management console tab or through the customer's billing account.
To link a cloud using the customer billing account:
- Log in to the partner portal with the Yandex ID to which your partner account in Yandex Cloud is linked.
- In the left-hand panel, select Dashboard.
- Select the customer's account from the list and click it.
- Under Clouds, click Link cloud and select a cloud from the list.
- Click Link. The cloud will appear in the list.
