Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for hierarchical management of co-location facility assets and permissions. For example, techniques are described for managing permissions for sub-customer access to reseller assets of a co-location facility, where the sub-customers are customers of the reseller. The techniques as described herein may, as a result, enable customers that become resellers to assign assets of the cloud exchange and manage sub-customer permissions to those assigned assets, including sub-customer orderings and/or access of assets associated with one or more geographically distinct co-location facilities and port-level assets.
