Create a base reseller hierarchy

If you are a public cloud reseller, to use public cloud reseller accounts for your tenants and to take advantage of public cloud features, you will need to create at least a base reseller hierarchy.

A base reseller hierarchy consists of a reseller and a set of customers. The hierarchy is defined using the enterprise settings and scopes.

To create a base reseller model, do these steps:

1. Create a Reseller scope
   1. For the parent scope, select the Global scope or another scope
   2. Add all the public cloud providers
2. Create a reseller enterprise and add reseller configuration
   • The reseller enterprise should not use public cloud resources for best results with billing and usage features
   1. For the default scope, select the Reseller scope
      • There can be only one reseller enterprise per scope, and that's one reason why we don't recommend using the Global scope 
   2. Select the Reseller checkbox
      1. Enter the Reseller mail account details. See Configure reseller mail accounts
   3. On the Datacenters tab
      1. Add the public cloud providers or regions
3. Edit the reseller scope and add the reseller enterprise
4. Create a Customer scope for each customer enterprise
   1. For the parent scope of the Customer scope, select the Reseller scope
   2. Add the customer enterprise to the customer scope
5. Edit the customer enterprise
   1. On the General tab
      1. For the customer enterprise default scope, select the Customer scope
      2. Select the Key node checkbox
   2. On the Datacenters tab
      1. Add the public cloud providers or regions
      2. Edit the public cloud providers or regions
         1. Create Allocation limits as required
         2. Set Default roles to create managed services as required
