# Editing Aliases

You can edit, add, and remove aliases
from this screen.

An alias associates the subscriber with the correct Service Provider data. Aliases are important because they ensure proper account billing by retrieving billing data for MetraTech subscriber accounts from external systems.

Most likely you will edit account aliases when you are troubleshooting errors, such as when you notice extra usage on a subscriber's bill. This could be due to the fact that the subscriber's aliases are not set up correctly.

| Note | The name space associated with the alias is set by default during system integration. It is not visible on this page.
