This topic introduces the Qoder CN account system, the purchase and usage flow for personal subscriptions (Pro), and member role management for enterprise subscriptions (Teams), to help you understand the complete process from ordering to using the product.
Account system
Personal users
Personal users can complete purchases and view Credits usage directly on Qoder.com.cn.
Personal users use an Alibaba Cloud account bound to their mobile number. If the mobile number is not yet registered with Alibaba Cloud, an Alibaba Cloud account is created automatically at the time of purchase. Customers can later log in to aliyun.com to view their orders.
Enterprise users
The Subscription Owner completes the initial subscription and organization creation in the Alibaba Cloud console. Ongoing organization management (members, seats, Credits usage, etc.) is handled in the Qoder.com.cn console.
Only the person who places the purchase order needs an Alibaba Cloud account. Other members can be imported by the organization Admin via SSO.
Account usage rules
Personal Edition (Basic / Pro): Must be used with the Alibaba Cloud primary (root) account. Sub-accounts have 0 Credits and cannot access paid features (including Pro and Credits-related functionality).
Teams (Enterprise Standard Edition): Uses the Alibaba Cloud primary/sub-account system.
Enterprise Dedicated Edition: Uses the model of "1 Alibaba Cloud primary account + the customer's own account system."
Personal subscription (Pro)
Purchase and usage flow
Personal users can complete the entire process—purchase, payment, and usage tracking—on Qoder.com.cn without accessing the Alibaba Cloud console. Qoder.com.cn encapsulates the interaction with the Alibaba Cloud purchase API, so the experience is self-contained within a single site.
Register or log in to Qoder.com.cn with a mobile number.
An Alibaba Cloud UID is automatically selected (or created if none exists).
Place and pay for the order on Qoder.com.cn.
Pay with Alipay QR code.
View Credits usage and expiration reminders on Qoder.com.cn.
Download QoderWork or Qoder CLI.
Log in and start using via SSO.
Account interoperability
Alibaba Cloud and Qoder.com.cn are already linked via mobile number verification. Customers can use the same mobile number to log in to:
The Alibaba Cloud website
The Qoder.com.cn website
No additional configuration is required by the customer.
Enterprise subscription (Teams)
Members and roles
Teams includes three organization member roles: Subscription Owner, Admin, and Member.
Role | Billable | Can assign seats | Can purchase / renew | Can manage org | Can use advanced features | Count |
Subscription Owner | No | No | Yes | No | No | 1 |
Admin | Yes | Yes | No (default) | Yes | Yes | Multiple |
Member | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Multiple |
Design principle: separation of procurement and usage. Purchasing is handled in Alibaba Cloud. Team management is centralized in Qoder.com.cn. Product usage is through clients such as QoderWork and Qoder CLI.
