Setting Account Freezing and Budget Setting Permissions for Resellers

A distributor can grant resellers the permissions to set customer budgets, freeze customer accounts and resources, and grant monthly budget quotas, one-time budget quotas, or both. After the permissions are granted to resellers, the distributor will no longer be responsible for account freezing or unfreezing and budget setting of the resellers' customers. When a reseller sets monthly or one-time budgets for their customers, the budgets cannot exceed the budget quota granted by their associated distributor.

In addition, the distributor can revoke these permissions. After the permissions are revoked, resellers will no longer be able to manage customer budgets, accounts, and resources. However, the customer budgets already granted will not be automatically canceled. The distributor can adjust customer budgets and freeze or unfreeze customer accounts for their resellers on the Sales > Customers > Customer Management > Resellers' Customers page in Partner Center.

A monthly budget reflects the total expenditures (calculated based on the list prices) of a customer the latest month. The budget will restore in the following month. If a distributor sets only monthly budget quotas for associated resellers, these resellers can only set monthly budgets for their own customers. For details about how a Huawei Cloud reseller sets monthly budgets for their customers, see Setting Monthly Budgets for Customers.
A one-time budget reflects the total expenditures (calculated based on the list prices) of a customer. It will not automatically restore. If a distributor sets only one-time budget quotas for associated resellers, these resellers can only set one-time budgets for their own customers. For details about how a reseller sets one-time budgets for their customers, see Setting One-Time Budgets for Customers.
If a distributor sets both monthly and one-time budget quotas for their resellers, these resellers can set monthly or one-time budgets for their own customers. The two budget modes can be switched.
A distributor can grant a monthly budget quota, a one-time budget quota, or both to a reseller.
