Creating Sub Account
Learn how to create and manage sub-accounts for Rapidproxy dynamic residential proxies using username and password authentication.
This guide explains how to create a sub-account for Dynamic (Rotating) Residential Proxies using username and password authentication in Rapidproxy.
Sub-accounts allow you to manage proxy access, credentials, and traffic limits separately for different applications, users, or environments.
What Is a Sub-Account?
A sub-account is an additional proxy credential under your main Rapidproxy account.
With sub-accounts, you can:
Use username & password authentication instead of IP whitelisting
Assign separate credentials for different projects or team members
Set a traffic cap (GB) to control bandwidth usage
Enable or disable access without affecting the main account
Sub-accounts are commonly used when multiple services or users need independent proxy access.
How to Access the Sub-Account List
To locate the Sub-account management page in the updated dashboard:
Log in to your Rapidproxy account.
Go to UCenter.
Navigate to: Proxies → Rotating Residential Proxies → Use Proxy → Sub-account list
This page displays all existing sub-accounts under your main account.
Creating a New Sub-Account
Follow these steps to create a new sub-account:
On the Sub-account list page, click the Add button.
Fill in the required fields:
Username – the proxy username for this sub-account
Password – the proxy password
Traffic cap (GB) – maximum traffic allowed for this sub-account
Set the account Status to Enabled / Active.
Click Confirm to save the sub-account.
Once saved, the sub-account becomes available for proxy authentication immediately.
Traffic Cap Behavior
The Traffic cap (GB) limits how much bandwidth the sub-account can use.
Traffic usage is deducted from your main account balance
When the traffic cap is reached, the sub-account will stop working
You can update or increase the traffic cap at any time from the sub-account list
This feature helps prevent unexpected usage and allows better traffic control per project.
Using the Sub-Account
After creating a sub-account:
Use the Username and Password as proxy authentication credentials
Configure your application, browser, or script with these credentials
No IP whitelisting is required when using username/password authentication
Each sub-account operates independently while sharing the main account’s purchased traffic.
Managing Sub-Accounts
From the Sub-account list, you can:
Enable or disable a sub-account
Edit username, password, or traffic cap
Remove sub-accounts that are no longer needed
All changes take effect immediately after saving.
When to Use Sub-Accounts
Sub-accounts are recommended if:
You manage multiple applications or environments
You want to assign separate credentials to different users
Your IP address changes frequently
You prefer credential-based authentication over IP whitelisting
