On-Your-Behalf accounts deletions originate in?

• A. The child account and cascade to parent
• B. Any account in the hierarchy
• C. The top-level account only
• D. The parent account and cascade to child accounts

Answer: (D)

In this setup, On-Your-Behalf accounts are organized in a hierarchy with a parent account at the top and child accounts beneath. The system is designed so that deletions must originate from that parent account, and then cascade down to all child accounts. This ensures a single, authoritative deletion that cleanly removes all related subaccounts and data, avoiding orphaned subaccounts or partial cleanup. It also gives the controlling (parent) account, typically the administrator or agency, the governance to approve and execute the full removal. Deleting from a child or from any lower level would risk incomplete cleanup, which is why the correct behavior is a parent-initiated deletion that cascades to the children.
