This document describes how to add customers of your AWS reseller for billing only.
For details of how to 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:
From AWS, obtain the Account ID
The Account ID must be under the customer account, NOT the main AWS partner account
In Abiquo, check that the customer enterprise has a reseller enterprise in the same scope
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:
Go to Users → edit the enterprise
Go to Credentials → Public
Select the appropriate Amazon provider
Enter the credentials in the following format
Access key ID:
Account_ID
Secret access key: Enter any value
Select Only for billing
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.
