User Manager/Limiting

Itroduction

User actions can be limited in several dimensions:

• time
• traffic amount (download and upload)
• speed rates

Time

Time can be managed in two ways: user's uptime-limit field and credit's time field.

Uptime limit

Uptime limit is maximum time amount a user is allowed to be active. See the example below.

Credit time

Subscriber can define available credit vouchers. User can buy those vouchers, customers can assign available credits to users. User credits are valid specific time. This means, when a credit is started, it must be used within a time specified. See the example below.

Example

If a user must be allowed to use 2 hours of Internet access and he/she must use these 2 hours within one week, then the uptime-limit field must be set to 2h and the user must be assigned a credit with time equal to 1w (See character constants for more information about time limit constants).
