Accounting question

Post by Franchise_24 »

I was thinking about making some different user accounts for normal people, and people who donate. Is it possible to make like lines 9-16 you have to have a certain level of access to use. Also, if I wanted to make an account that was an unlimited account for maybe you only get 2 hours a day (like a Monthly class back in the day) can I do that and where do I go to set that type of stuff up.

Thanks.

*edit*
I was playing with the account function online and I see where I can edit existing user accounts, but where can I create *new* accounts. Thanks

In account edit just make a new class, edit the parameters time/day/call etc. Then edit any and add any security "Keys", be sure to always add the standard DEMO class to any new class of a higher level.
Search the forums here for some more help, it takes a bit of practice to get a good understanding how they each work together.

Yah I figured out if I wanted to make a MEMBER class I just type MEMBER and it will let me make it new. I did not see anywhere so maybe you can tell me, if I want to designate line 9-16 as you have to be in a certain class to login, is there a way to do that? So like if someone connects to line #9 and they are a user and they type in their name and password it will tell them they dont have enough access to get on that line and try again later when there are less users online.

Thanks

Haven't seen anything like that, other then a couple utilities from Dialsoft, Line Control and possibly C.O.N.T.R.O.L
Who knows maybe Dan's tinkering with such a utility? 8)

What about PrimeTime Hours? I remember a MBBS system back in the day that had that where from like 7pm - midnight you couldn't logon to make room for a different type of paying client.

You can set WG to use resevered channels, goto Security & Accounting and configure SAMPLN and SAMKY.
It will set a certain nuber of channels for newbies and another bunch of channels for reserved.
This is a basic method, thier were a few modules made for this.

create reserved channels and lock it to a specific key

if you try to logon without that key you'll get a message and be disconnected.
