What is a nested account?

A nested account is a type of account within an existing account. It is created to manage a specific part or subset of the main account. The nested account can have its own unique settings, permissions, and configurations that are independent of the main account.

Nested accounts are commonly used in businesses or organizations that have multiple departments or teams. Each team can have its own nested account, which allows them to manage their own projects, budgets, and resources while still operating under the umbrella of the main account.

With a nested account, the main account owner can set different levels of access and control for each team or department. For example, the owner can grant full access and control to the finance team, but limit the marketing team's access to certain resources and features.

Nested accounts also offer a convenient way to track and report on the activities of each team or department. The main account owner can view metrics and performance data for each nested account separately, providing a clear picture of how each team is contributing to the overall success of the organization.
