Organizations & Suborganizations

A suborganization ...

• can only be created with a valid subscription plan.
• is part of a main organization and cannot have its own subscription; the suborganization uses the same plan as the main organization.
• only has limited resources such as player licenses or encodings (depending on the configuration when creating the suborganization).
• doesn't have its own billing and usage/overage tracking; this is billed via the main organisation.
