### Example 1. Adding Cloud Director Subtenant Account

This example shows how to add a Cloud Director subtenant account to your Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. The subtenant quota is set to 50 GB.

```
$vcduser = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -OrganizationUser -Name vCDUser
$vcdtenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "vCDTenant"
$parent = $vcdtenant.Resources[0]
$subRes = New-VBRCloudSubTenantResource -Parent $parent -RepositoryFriendlyName "Cloudrepository" -Quota 50
Add-VBRvCDCloudSubTenant -vCDOrganizationUser $vcduser -vCDTenant $vcdtenant -Resources $subRes -Description "NewCloudSubTenant"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Find-VBRvCloudEntity`](find-vbrvcloudentity.md) cmdlet. Provide the `OrganizationUser` parameter. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$vcduser` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$vcdtenant` variable.
3. Get the parent resources. Use the `Resources` property of the `VBRCloudTenantResource` object saved to the `$vcdtenant` variable. Save the result to the `$parent` variable.
4. Run the [`New-VBRCloudSubTenantResource`](new-vbrcloudsubtenantresource.md) cmdlet. Set the `$parent` variable as the `Parent` parameter value. Specify the `RepositoryFriendlyName` and the `Quota` parameter values. Save the result to the `$subRes` variable.
5. Run the `Add-VBRvCDCloudSubTenant` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$vcduser` variable as the `vCDOrganizationUser` parameter value.
   - Set the `$vcdtenant` variable as the `vCDTenant` parameter value.
   - Set the `$subRes` variable as the `Resources` parameter value.

```
$vcduser = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -OrganizationUser -Name vCDUser
$vcdtenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "vCDTenant"
$subRes = New-VBRCloudSubTenantResource -Parent $vcdtenant.Resources[0] -RepositoryFriendlyName "Cloudrepository" -Unlimited
Add-VBRvCDCloudSubTenant -vCDOrganizationUser $vcduser -vCDTenant $vcdtenant  -Resources $subRes -Description "NewCloudSubTenant"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Find-VBRvCloudEntity`](find-vbrvcloudentity.md) cmdlet. Provide the `OrganizationUser` parameter. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$vcduser` variable.
