Account Types

Huawei Qiankun involves the following types of accounts:

  • Huawei Cloud website account

    Huawei Qiankun is a collection of cloud services, which are also available in Huawei Cloud KooGallery. Before purchasing services in Huawei Cloud KooGallery, you need to register an account on the Huawei Cloud website using your phone number.

    Huawei Cloud website accounts include the following:

    • HUAWEI ID

      A HUAWEI ID is an account registered on Huawei website. It can be used to access Huawei service websites such as the Huawei Cloud website.

    • Huawei Cloud account

      A Huawei Cloud account is an account registered on the Huawei Cloud website before December 30, 2020. It can only be used to log in to the Huawei Cloud website.

    • To improve login experience, Huawei has unified the account system. Currently, you can register only HUAWEI IDs on the Huawei Cloud website.
    • After purchasing resources on the Huawei Cloud website, you can create Identity and Access Management (IAM) users to perform refined access control on the resources. For details, see What Is IAM?.
    • For details about HUAWEI IDs, Huawei Cloud accounts, IAM users, and relationships between them, see introduction to Huawei Cloud accounts in the IAM documentation.

    Huawei Cloud website accounts are the entities that make payments for the use of resources, own the purchased resources, and centrally manage service fees.

  • Huawei Qiankun account

    This type of account is used to log in to the Huawei Qiankun console to use the purchased cloud services, and is not charged separately. Instead, the linked HUAWEI ID is charged for the purchased services.

    The first Huawei Qiankun account registered for a tenant is the top-level tenant administrator that has all operation permissions of the tenant. You can use this account to create lower-level tenant accounts and grant permissions to these accounts. For example, you can create different tenant accounts for different branches and departments of your enterprise. For details about how to grant permissions to lower-level tenant accounts, see Tenant Account Management.

    Huawei Qiankun accounts are classified into tenant accounts and MSP accounts. Tenants can entrust MSPs with managed services. For details about MSP accounts, see the Huawei Qiankun MSP Operation Guide.
