Subscription Manager is a system that has been introduced to help manage the subscriptions and rights companies and users hold within XMPro applications. Subscription Manager is composed of several parts, including Product Management, Company Management, and Subscription and Access Management.
Product Management
Each of the products/ applications that are supported by Subscription Manager needs to be registered in the system by an XMPro Administrator. If an application is listed in the system, all of the information that describes it needs to be added with it. Information of a product can include the URL a user will need to navigate to the product, a list of rights a user can have on it, etc. Product keys for each product are also generated and kept within Subscription Manager.
Company Management
Users that register to use XMPro are grouped by company; thus, a company needs to be registered in Subscription Manager and then multiple users can sign up as part of that company.
Subscription Access Management
Subscriptions to applications need to be given to a company and access needs to be given to at least one administrator of that company first. Users in that company can then request access to the products their company has subscription access for. The first and main subscription any user or company should hold is a subscription to Subscription Manager. Without it, they will not be allowed to use any of the products supported by it.
