Freezing Both an Account and Resources

If the distributor of a reseller has granted the reseller the permissions for freezing and unfreezing accounts and setting budgets for customers, the reseller can freeze the accounts and resources of its customers associated in the Reseller model. If the account and resources of a customer associated in the Reseller model are frozen, the customer cannot buy, renew, or change resources, and all their cloud resources provisioned cannot be used. Unfreeze the resources within 15 days (subject to the time range regulated on the official website) of when they are frozen. Otherwise, the data stored in cloud services except TaurusDB and certain KooGallery products (see details in the NOTE below) will be deleted and the cloud service resources will be released. Exercise caution when using this function.

  • When a TaurusDB instance is deleted, its automated backups are also deleted, but its manual backups are retained until they are manually deleted.
  • In KooGallery, you can freeze only images and pay-per-use products. Other products (such as SaaS and yearly/monthly licenses) are not supported now. If you have any requirements on resource control, submit a service ticket.
  • If your reseller account is frozen, you cannot unfreeze customer accounts.

Procedure

  1. Access the Customer Management page.

    a) Log in to Huawei Cloud as a reseller.

    b) Click Partner Center in the drop-down list of your account name in the upper right corner.

    c) In the top navigation bar, select Sales > Customers > Customer Management.

  2. Locate the target customer and click Freeze Account and Resources in the Operation column. The Freeze Account and Resources page is displayed.

    You can search for customers by whether the account is automatically frozen, association type, association time, customer name, customer account, customer ID, account manager name, month-to-date expenditure, resource expiration date, mobile number, budget usage, or customer tag.

  3. Enter the reason.
  4. Click OK.

    A message is displayed indicating that the account and resources are frozen.

    Account and resource freezing is a critical operation. You are advised to enable the verification code function to enhance account security. For details about how to enable verification code function, see Managing Basic Information.
