Managing Sub-Accounts

10 min

Who is this for: Primary account holders who need to grant controlled access to team members, or clients without exposing full account credentials.

Outcome: Create and manage sub-accounts with defined permissions, enabling secure delegation of responsibilities while protecting the primary account.

Overview

A subaccount is a secondary account linked to a publisher’s primary MomentScience account. Subaccounts provide controlled access for team members, partners, or clients without exposing the full permissions or credentials of the primary account.

Every publisher receives one primary account, which serves as the central hub. From the primary account, you can create and manage subaccounts, delegate responsibilities, and set access levels.

Permissions

Allowed Actions

Subaccounts can:

Generate and manage API keys for secure data exchange.

Access all available offers for campaign planning and execution.

Access and configure integrations, including MomentPerks and Perkswall.

Modify personal details (name, email, phone number, password).

Configure postback URLs and access tools such as Payload Explorer, Postback Explorer, and Event Logs.

Blacklisted Permissions

Subaccounts cannot:

Create new accounts.

Create or pause offers.

Methods for Creating Subaccounts

Create a Subaccount (API)

For teams that require automation or want to integrate subaccount creation into their own systems, the MomentScience API provides a programmatic way to create and manage subaccounts.

Using the API, you can:

Create subaccounts directly from your internal tools.

Pre-fill required fields such as email, name, and organization.

Apply configurations automatically (e.g., copy themes, enable integrations).

Scale account creation without manual dashboard steps.

See the full API details in the Create Sub-Accounts API Documentation.

To use the API, you must have an API key with Accounts scope.
