​
Overview

In our Profile platform, accounts can be organized in a hierarchical structure where a Parent Account can have one or more Sub-Accounts. For accounts that do not utilize sub-accounts, the primary account itself is considered the Parent Account.

​
Parent and Sub-Accounts

  • Parent Account: The main account that can manage and control associated Sub-Accounts.
  • Sub-Accounts: Secondary accounts linked to the Parent Account. These allow for more granular control and resource allocation within an organization.

​
Credit Distribution

Credits on the platform can be distributed between the Parent Account and its Sub-Accounts. This means that an organization can allocate credits to different departments or teams under the same Parent Account, ensuring flexible resource management.

​
API Endpoint Considerations

When interacting with our API, it is important to use the corresponding Account IDs in your requests. For example, if you want to transfer credits from the Parent Account to a specific Sub-Account, you will need to provide both the “from” (Parent Account) and “to” (Sub-Account) Account IDs as parameters. To obtain your Parent Account ID, which is required for these operations, please refer to the Get Account endpoint. This endpoint is typically the first call made after authentication, as it provides the current Parent Account information necessary for subsequent API calls.

​
Summary

This hierarchical model is optional and is designed for organizations that need to manage multiple accounts under one umbrella. Accounts without Sub-Accounts simply use the Parent Account as the primary account.
