Request cross-account authorization
Data Transmission supports data migration and data synchronization between different Alibaba Cloud accounts. This process requires authorization from the other account. This topic describes how to request cross-account authorization.
Background information
Before you can purchase and use Alibaba Cloud products and services, you must create an Alibaba Cloud account. After you set up and verify this account, which can be a personal or enterprise account, you can purchase and use cloud resources such as ECS and database services. While using these resources, you may need to grant resource authorization, migrate data, or synchronize data between different Alibaba Cloud accounts. Therefore, Data Transmission Service supports data migration and data synchronization between different Alibaba Cloud accounts.
For example, consider Account A and Account B. If Account A wants to access an OceanBase instance or a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that belongs to Account B, Account A can request authorization from Account B. Follow the steps in this topic to make the request.
