Distributor Account
A Distributor (Dis) account is the primary account for a distributor on the cloud platform. It has access to all projects, installers, and data belonging to that distributor.
Sub Account
A Sub Account is an additional login credential created under a Distributor account. It is not a separate role — it shares the same data and permissions as the parent Distributor account.
Key characteristics:
Operates on the same data as the parent Distributor account.
Has the same access permissions as the parent Distributor account.
Allows multiple users to log in simultaneously without displacing each other.
Cannot exist independently of the parent Distributor account.
Use Sub Accounts when multiple team members need concurrent access to the same Distributor account.
Sub-Distributor Account
A Sub-Distributor (Sub-Dis) is an independent second-tier distributor role. It is not a login credential under another account — it is a separate entity with its own data.
Key characteristics:
Has its own projects and installers.
Operates independently from the parent Distributor.
Data is not shared with the parent Distributor account.
