A sub account setup consists of separate accounts and agreements that a master account can easily manage. This requires multiple signed contracts and an owner for each sub account.

Using a sub account allows you to implement unique security standards within your organization (HIPAA/ BAA), as well as separate account ownership, billing, and branding. It also allows you to easily manage your subsidiary/sister companies under one umbrella and individually configure and manage integrations separately (LTI, Rest API, Zoom Rooms).

A sub account is mostly used in, but not limited to, the following industries:

• Education
• Finance
• Technology
• Healthcare

5. Click Create and Continue.
6. Select a plan for your sub account then proceed to Payment.
   Note: Licenses can be assigned right away or can be skipped, if owner or admin would like to create multiple sub accounts first.
