Method: organizations.billingAccounts.create

This method creates billing subaccounts.

Google Cloud resellers should use the Channel Services APIs, accounts.customers.create and accounts.customers.entitlements.create.

When creating a subaccount, the current authenticated user must have the billing.accounts.update IAM permission on the parent account, which is typically given to billing account administrators. This method will return an error if the parent account has not been provisioned for subaccounts.
