# Telnyx User Portal: Managed Accounts for MSPs and Resellers

[Release notes](https://telnyx.com/release-notes)

# Introducing Managed Accounts in the Mission Control Portal

### 29, Jan 2021

Managing multiple organizations through the Mission Control Portal and Telnyx API just got a lot easier. We're thrilled to introduce [Managed Accounts](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/account/managed-accounts) as a limited-release feature, enabling qualifying users to create sub-accounts with advanced management features.

## What is a Managed Account?

A Managed Account is a sub-account created from within an existing Mission Control Portal account (which we call a **manager** account). Manager accounts have advanced control over pricing, reporting, administration, and billing functionalities of Managed Accounts:

### Pricing and Reporting:

* Managed Accounts inherit pricing from their manager accounts. If your organization has a [committed use agreement](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) for lower rates, your Managed Accounts will have those rates automatically.
* Pricing is hidden from Managed Accounts. Only the manager accounts that administer Managed Accounts are able to view pricing.
* Managed Accounts can generate reports on their own usage, without viewing their pricing.

### Administration:

* Manager accounts can log into any one of their Managed Accounts via the portal to view that Managed Account's usage and balance, and configure that Managed Account's settings.
* Manager accounts can also create an API key associated with a Managed Account, and control the Managed Account via the [Telnyx API](https://developers.telnyx.com/api/managed-accounts/list-managed-accounts).

### Billing:

* Managed Accounts have their own account balances, payment methods, and invoices.

## What can I do with Managed Accounts?

Managed Accounts are an intuitive way of administering multiple accounts and users from one unified interface. [Managed Service Providers](https://telnyx.com/use-cases/managed-service-providers) can use Managed Accounts to easily manage each of their individual customers while allowing them the freedom to log into their Managed Account and configure their communications.

## How can I get started with Managed Accounts?

Managed Accounts will be rolled out to all Telnyx users in the coming months. To access an early-release preview, [reach out to our sales team](https://telnyx.com/contact-us).
