Account system
Qoder CN is integrated with the Alibaba Cloud account system. You can use your Alibaba Cloud account for both purchasing and logging in without requiring separate registration.
-
Alibaba Cloud account: Used to place orders, manage subscriptions, and view bills. All operations can be completed using an Alibaba Cloud account.
-
RAM sub-account: Enterprises can create and authorize RAM sub-accounts in the Alibaba Cloud RAM console for team members. A RAM sub-account cannot purchase a subscription independently but can use Qoder CN within the scope of permissions granted by the main Alibaba Cloud account.
For information on RAM authorization policies for enterprise editions, refer to the Alibaba Cloud RAM documentation.
