Process for multi-profile accounts

Installation and Configuration

Michael -

The video you reference does not talk about the relationship between accounts and profiles and your description is a little confusing to me.

You have one account with three profiles. /site-builder is a profile under your account but you have linked /paul etc, to the profile, not to the account. Right?

So for a company to work:

Each employee of the company would have its own account and a profile for them as a person. I would then add a second profile (say, with the company name) to one of the accounts (as specified by the company) and then put the "shared" profile into a quota and assign it a special constellation of privileges - including the ability to have multiple profiles.

I would then link all of the other employee profiles to the shared profile.

Right?

--- edited to add ---

Each member has the option to post to their profile or to the shared profile and what shows up where depends on how I allocate the constellation of privileges in quota config, which is, for all intents and purposes, a very fine-grained ACL.

Member profile settings page missing Active and Quota fields

Installation and Configuration


Michael - I did, and the issue seems to be that it's visible for some members and NOT others. I did run the integrity check, but not for databases (repair and optimize). Brian has my login credentials if you want to look.

The field is missing in the form looking at it in the form designer, but that doesn't explain why I can see it and some but not all members can't.

On a related note, in the process of adding the Ning signup questions using the form designer, I do not see the option to add the field to the update form.

So I am going to stop for the moment.

Okay. But I am a little confused by this. My confusion may stem from the fact that I understand the relationship backwards?

From the Docs page on the module:

- Connected to the jrUser module in a 1:many relationship.
- Any single person on a JR5 site will have 1 user account, however they may have more than 1 profile.
- In a music website example this would be one band member being a member of many bands.
- Or a band manager managing many bands.

I was thinking it would be one entity (a company) with more than one employee, not a person working for more than one company.

In the above scenario, the two employees would have to share the same login and then each would manage their respective profile each with its own set of private notes. If this is right, which profile would they go to when they log in? The first one created?

I am looking at Chrome on an iPhone and don't see that problem, but I do see it in Safari. I will have to see if there's something I did outside of an "if this displayed on a mobile device" and then try to figure out why it's a problem on Chrome and not Safari.

There is a reason I don't do this for a living.

This may work for the Nova skin, but it's working for me in the Ningja skin. I will have to play around with this some more. But I really do appreciate the pointer on where to start.

I know about the link color on mobile devices - just need to figure out which CSS class it is and change it. Focused on other issues first, but it is on my list to take care of.

Right now the Activity Timeline is heavy with my photos because I am doing a lot compared with the number of members who've signed in. As more activity is generated by members I will be contributing less, proportionately than they will so I expect that repetition to go away.

I do appreciate your pointing these things out to me, always appreciate a fresh(er) set of eyes on things.

Process for multi-profile accounts

Installation and Configuration

By default, I have the "power user" feature - multiple profiles for an account - off.

But already, I have a request to do this. I am just looking for a best practices approach. I don't plan to charge for the service at this point. However, I may create a quota that includes Domain Mapping, multiple-profiles, the ability to create private pages and groups and charge for that.

Here's the current situation.

One member of the company already personal account on the system. The account owner's business partner wants to create a "company account." My idea is to merge the two profiles under a single account.

I was thinking of handling it the following way:

Clone a new quota from a quota that has the requisite entitlements - and call it, say, Multi - that did not allow signups but had the power user feature enabled.

The business partner would create a new account and profile and then I would assign that account to the Multi Quota. I then need to go and assign the other profile to that account.

Am I missing something? Is this the wrong way to do this? Is there a better way to do this?

TIA,
:: Clay
