Does the OCR Service Support Sub-Account Calls?
Supported. Please contact your root account to configure OCR-related permissions for you in the CAM Console according to the Console Access Management operation guide. After authorization, activate the corresponding service in the OCR Console to call the service API.
Can a Sub-Account Activate the OCR Service?
Yes. Both the root account after real-name authentication and the sub-account (including sub-users and collaborators) granted full read-write access to OCR (QcloudOCRFullAccess) can activate the OCR service. Under the same APPID, as long as one account activates a certain OCR service, other accounts can use that service.
Note:
Sub-accounts with QcloudOCRFullAccess permission before September 21, 2023, cannot activate the OCR service by themselves. If a sub-account needs this service, they can contact their root account or Contact Us to add the configuration.
How Does the Root Account Grant OCR Permissions To a Sub-Account?
You need to operate in the CAM Console. Please refer to the Console Access Management operation guide.
How Does a Sub-Account Obtain SecretId and SecretKey To Call APIs?
You can contact your root account to provide it. The root account can select Access Keys > API Token Management in the left navigation bar of the CAM Console, then select the corresponding sub-account to Create a Key, and provide the generated SecretId and SecretKey to the sub-account.
Does the OCR Service Support Sub-Account Purchase and Usage Of Resource Packages?
Sub-accounts are supported to make purchases, but the link needs to be copied and paid by the root account.
Resource packages purchased by sub-accounts or root accounts can be deducted by both root/sub-accounts. The call volume generated by sub-accounts will be counted under the root account, sharing the resource packages purchased by root/sub-accounts. The deduction order follows the resource package activation order.
Can Resource Packages Purchased By Sub-Accounts Be Found In the Console?
Yes. The current OCR console displays the resource pack management page by APPID. After the sub-account logs in to the console, the information on the resource pack management page is the same as that seen by the root account.
The resource packs purchased by the root and sub-accounts will be displayed on the resource pack management page. The resource packs will be shared when called by the root/sub-accounts, and the deduction order will follow the order of effectiveness of the resource packs.
If Both Root and Sub-Accounts Activate the OCR Service, Will They Receive Multiple Free Resource Packages?
No, after the root account and its created sub-accounts activate the OCR service, they will only receive one free resource pack per month, which is shared.
How Is the Calling Volume Generated By Sub-Account Calls To the OCR API Charged?
The calling volume generated by sub-accounts will be counted under the root account. During bill settlement, the system will settle in the order of the root account's free resource pack > paid resource pack > pay-as-you-go. If the free tier is exhausted for the month and the root/sub-account has not purchased a prepaid resource package or the prepaid resource package is also exhausted, the service will face the risk of being unavailable. To ensure uninterrupted service, please go to the Purchase Page to buy a prepaid resource package or go to the Console Settings Page to enable the postpaid mode. For details, please refer to the Billing Overview.
Note
Customers who activated the OCR service before December 14, 2021, will automatically switch to the postpaid mode after the free and paid resource packages are exhausted. To avoid additional charges, please go to the Console Settings Page to disable the postpaid mode.
Can Sub-Accounts View the Calling Volume In the OCR Console?
Yes. Starting from November 15, 2019, sub-accounts can view their own calling volume on the OCR console. The root account can also filter and view the calling volume of each sub-account and the total calling volume.
