Sub-accounts let you give other people on your team access to the platform – with only the permissions they actually need. For example, you can let one person send bulk SMS but restrict access to analytics or finances.

Sub-accounts only control access to the web interface. They have no effect on your API, REST API, or SMPP connections. |
Before You Start
Sub-accounts are not available by default. To enable this feature, ask your Gatum manager to turn on the Can Add Subaccount option in your account settings.
Once it's enabled, you'll see the Sub Accounts section in your platform under Setting → Sub Accounts.
Step 1: Create a Sub-Account
