Sharing SD (storage devices) on multiple sub accounts
Hello
If you have setup your standard edition with multiple sub accounts (vs putting all servers within one account), you can share selected storage devices with your various sub accounts
to accomplish this
1) log into your admin GUI and navigate to director > storages and click on the SD you wish to work with
2) scroll down til you see the "Publicly Available" option, set to yes, and then save (update SD). You can also name the device and this is what customers will see in the "Storage Device" option in their account when in the server wizard
3) if you are using the sub account option to "sell" sub accounts, you can use the API to specify pricing and limits of such disk space for sub account customers. alternatively, from your admin GUI, please navigate to users, edit the user (sub account) you wish to work with, and specify the amount of disk space you want to allocate to this user on the shared SD devices (labelled as "cloud storage" and is only done in 50GB increments). This is the same area where you can allocate # of licenses to the user (sub account), again, if you are not handling this via API calls automatically
