- Customers are service providers. They use web interface to manage users, credits, routers;
- Customers are hierarchically ordered in a tree structure - each can have zero or more sub-customers and exactly one parent-customer;
- Each customer can have same or weaker permission level than it's parent;
- Each customer has exactly one owner-subscriber.
- Customer with owner permissions is called subscriber. Subscriber's parent is himself;
- Customer data contains:
- Login and password. Used for web interface;
- Parent. Enumerator over customers. Used to keep the hierarchy of customers;
- Permissions. Specifies permission level;
- Public ID. It's an ID used to identify customer. When a user wants to log on the user page or to sign up he/she needs to specify, which customer to use (because user login names are allowed to be equal among several subscribers). To keep customer login names in secret (for security reasons) this field is used to identify customers ( subscribers);
- Public host. Only for subscribers. IP address or DNS name specifying public address of this User Manager router. Payment gateways use this address to send transaction status response. This field has sense only if users access User Manager site through local IP address (for, expample, http://192.168.0.250/user) and another address is used for public access (for example, http://userman.mt.lv/user).
- Company, city, country. Informational;
- Email address. Used to send emails (for ex., sign up information) to users;
- User prefix. Used to separate users between customers of one subscriber;
- Sign-up allowed. When checked, this customer allows users to use sign-up;
- Sign-up email subject. When a user completes signs up successfully, he/she receives an email with authorization information, called sign-up email. Subject of this email is configurable.
- Sign-up email body. Text template of sign-up email. Must contain several specific string constants:
- %login% - will be replaced with login name of newly created account;
- %password% - will be replaced with password of newly created account.
- %link% - will be replaced with link to User page. This field can be omitted;
- Authorize.Net fields (only for subscribers and only when using https):
- Allow payments. When checked, users are allowed to use Authorize.Net as payment method for this subscriber;
- Login ID, Transaction Key, MD5 Value. Authorize.Net merchant attributes. Must match those specified in Authorize.Net Merchant gateway security settings;
- PayPal fields (only for subscribers):
- Allow payments. When checked, users are allowed to use PayPal as payment method for this subscriber;
- Business ID (login/email). Business ID of the PayPal account where the money will be sent;
- Date format. Used on web pages for data representation. Only allowed formats (listed in drop-down) can be used. When the value doesn't match any of allowed (it's possible to enter any value from console) formats, default is used. See date character constants:
- Currency. Used for payments and money-related data representation on the web page;
- Time zone. Specific for each customer. By default equals to +00:00. Session and credit info is stored as GMT regardles of ROS time zone on the User Manager router. This value specifies the way data is displayed on the User Manager web pages.
