Updated at：2025-11-11
Operation scenarios
Cloud Smart Network (CSN) allows for cross-account addition of network instances. You can share the network instances in your account with others. Once authorized, the other party can integrate these instances into their CSN to establish a network connection with you. Proceed with caution.
Operation instructions
● Each network instance can be authorized to only one Cloud Smart Network (CSN) instance.
● To authorize a dedicated channel, navigate to Dedicated Line ET > Dedicated Channel List and perform the operation there.
● After the authorization is completed, you can add cross-account network instances. For the specific addition method, please refer to Adding Cross-Account Network Instances
Operation steps
- Sign in to the Cloud Smart Network Console.
- In the left navigation bar, go to Cross-Account Authorization Management -> Authorized Network Instances to access the Authorized Network Instances page and view detailed information on authorized instances.
- Click on Authorize Instance, provide the other party’s account ID and their Cloud Smart Network instance ID to authorize the network instance.
