Use the parent company's models

A sub-company uses the parent company's models, tiers and routes until the parent allows changes. The parent's model rules always apply, and a route on a parent key is labelled as the parent company's key.

Open the sub-company, then Connections › Model providers. The key itself is never shown.

Set by the parent

  • When the parent still chooses the models, Models opens with Set by and the parent company's name.
  • If the sub-company may not change them, the note is Ask the parent to let sub-companies change models. You can still add your own model keys.
  • If the parent has allowed changes and this company has not changed them yet, the note is You can change these models here. The parent's model rules still apply.
  • If this company has changed them, the note is You've changed these models here. The parent's model rules still apply.

What is inherited

  • While the switch is off, the sub-company uses the parent's models, tiers and routes.
  • The parent's model rules always apply to the sub-company, even when the sub-company may change its own list.
  • In Runs through, a route that uses a parent key starts with Parent company's instead of Your. The rest of the label is that key's name. The key is not shown, and the sub-company cannot replace or remove it.
  • Removing that key on the parent removes those routes on the sub-company.
  • A key the sub-company adds for the same provider is used instead. See Add the sub-company's own key.

Let sub-companies change models

On the parent company, open Connections › Model providers › Limits. Sub-companies can change models is off until you turn it on. The note while it is off: Off: your sub-companies use your models, tiers and routes. Your model rules always apply to them, and they can always add their own model keys. Turning it on lets each sub-company change its own models, tiers and routes. It does not share apps, accounts or channels, and it does not show the parent keys.
