# Add an Account

### Overview

It allows you to manage their WhatsApp Business API access, chatbot configurations, and subscriptions separately for each client all while staying in control from your Partner Dashboard.

This article will walk you through the steps to create and manage a Child Account for your customer, whether you have full access to their Facebook Business Manager or not.
