Add credentials of AWS reseller customers for billing only

This document describes how to add customers of your AWS reseller for billing only.
For details of how to add your customer's own AWS account, see Add a customer AWS account for billing only

For AWS partners, a customer can display a billing dashboard without using Amazon's compute features in the platform.
To display the dashboard, the customer does not need to create anything in the provider, and you can enter the Account ID as the credentials.

Before you begin:

  1. From AWS, obtain the Account ID

    1. The Account ID must be under the customer account, NOT the main AWS partner account

  2. In Abiquo, check that the customer enterprise has a reseller enterprise in the same scope

    1. The reseller enterprise must have valid Credentials on the Pricing tab because the platform will validate the customer Account ID using the reseller's credentials

To add customer credentials for billing only:

  1. Go to Users → edit the enterprise

  2. Go to Credentials → Public

  3. Select the appropriate Amazon provider

  4. Enter the credentials in the following format

    1. Access key ID:

      Account_ID
    2. Secret access key: Enter any value

  5. Select Only for billing

  6. Click Add account to save the credentials. The platform will not validate the account details until it retrieves billing data from the provider

For this customer, the platform will display billing data on the default Hybrid billing dashboard. The customer will not be able to use the compute features of the provider in the platform.
