   Only the following three subaccount types can be created in CertCentral. See this page to create Managed subaccounts.
   1. Retail
      Gives the user a CertCentral Retail account. Intended for users that only have a few certificates and don't need complex certificate management or account management features. Not all CertCentral features are available in a Retail account.
   2. Enterprise
      Gives the user a CertCentral Enterprise account. All features available to the parent account are available to this subaccount.

   By default, all administrators in your account can manage all subaccounts. To allow any other user role to manage this subaccount, set them as the account manager. An administrator can change this at any time.
