| Master Account with Sub-Accounts |
|
In a nutshell: Our Master Account with Sub-Accounts service is perfect for families, businesses, schools, libraries - in fact, for anyone who wishes to provide others with access to Newstext but wants to control that access. Control: It allows you to set up a Master Account with sub-accounts which you control. All have their separate username and password to access Newstext. The Master Account can distribute credits among sub-accounts, change passwords and usernames, enable/disable any or all of the sub accounts, and buy more credits at any time. A sub-account only has the ability to use its log-on details to access the Archive and download articles according to the credits available to it. A sub-account cannot change username or password, top up credits, etc. A sub-account is not limited to a particular PC - in other words, the user of a sub-account can log-in from school or work or home. Varying numbers of sub-accounts: You can vary the number of sub-accounts that the Master Account controls. The minimum is four sub-accounts; the maximum is 100. You can choose whatever you require in between. If you need fewer than four sub-accounts, simply disable the unwanted ones with your Manager tool. If you want more than 100 sub-accounts, contact us. Cost: The minimum purchase to set up a Master Account with sub-accounts up is 50 credits. 10 of these credits are placed in the Master Account and 10 in each of the 4 sub-accounts. The minimum number of credits needed to create each sub-account is 10. Example: You want to set up 20 sub-accounts, therefore you must purchase 210 credits (10 for the master account, 10 for each of the sub-accounts If you purchase more than the minimum, then the extra credits are placed in the master account. Example: You purchase 120 download credits and select 5 sub-accounts - the Master Account will get 70 and the five sub-accounts will each get 10. You can use the Manager tool to redistribute the credits. If you create a Master Account with the maximum of 100 Sub-Accounts, the sub-account usernames and passwords are generated at random, ready to use. The minimum purchase to set up one of these accounts is 1010 credits. Manager Tool: The Master Account has access to a Manager Tool to manage the sub-accounts. None of the sub-accounts has access to this tool. The Manager Tool allows the main user to:
The Master Account can purchase more credits through Newstext's Top Up function at any time. Sub-accounts cannot do this. When more credits are purchased, they are added to the Master Account. The main user uses the Manager Tool to distribute these credits to sub-accounts. Users of sub-accounts can see their individual account details. Before their credits get too low, they are advised to contact the administrator of the Main Account to organise more credits, or subscribe to the service as a casual user. |
