Managing Subscriber Plans
Subscriber accounts are assigned to Subscriber plans. Subscriber plans determine
which content a subscriber can access and download. A Subscriber plan is mapped
to selected categories in the Vending Manager. The content in the selected categories
is made available to plan members. If content is in a category that is not supported
by the Subscriber plan, the subscriber cannot access it for download.
The following features exist for Subscriber plans:
A subscriber must be a member of at least one Subscriber plan and can be a
member of multiple plans.
Content supported in one Subscriber plan can be included in another Subscriber
plan by nesting plans. This enables you to create a hierarchy of Subscriber plans.
Viewing Subscriber Plans
1. From the Vending Manager administration console, click Plans on the main menu
bar.
The Subscriber Plan Management page displays all the Subscriber plans defined.
