Assigning Barracuda Backup Appliances to Subpartners

Assigning Backup Appliances Options

Assigning to the subpartner is necessary only if there is a master partner/subpartner relationship.

A Master Partner must assign the appliance to the subpartner first before it can be activated on the subpartner’s accounts.

Then, a Master Partner can activate the appliances to either their own accounts, and/or directly to the accounts of any subpartners being managed. If activation is done directly to the account of a subpartner, it is then also automatically assigned to that subpartner. After an appliance is assigned, then a subpartner can also activate the account directly.
