The trusteeship feature allows you to manage bills, invoices, and resources of multiple accounts by using one account.
What is trusteeship?
Trusteeship is a mutual relationship built on trust that is established between a master account and a linked account. The linked account allows the master account to manage the financial assets such as bills, invoices, and funds of the linked account. The linked account has only the permissions to manage resources within the linked account. In enterprise finance scenarios, you can establish trusteeship between a master account and a linked account. This way, you can use the master account to manage the financial assets of the linked account. The following figure shows how to establish trusteeship between a master account and a linked account.
How trusteeship works
After trusteeship is established between a master account and linked accounts:
The master account pays the subscription and pay-as-you-go bills generated within the linked accounts. The available funds of the master account determine whether to stop or restart the resources of the linked accounts.
All orders and bills of the linked accounts are managed by the master account in a centralized manner.
All invoices of the linked accounts are issued to the master account in a centralized manner.
All incomes and expenses of the linked accounts are queried by using the master account in a centralized manner.
The linked accounts share the discounts and coupons of the master account.
The balance of the linked accounts before trusteeship is established is no longer used and can be withdrawn.
