subscriptions: 1 user, multiple profile s

Using Jamroom

So if each profile is limited by its quota, why can't I purchase a subscription for each one? Yes, because subscriptions are user-based. But there's a kind of disconnect for Power Users. A Power User can simply create multiple profiles in subscription-only quotas and not pay for them.

I may be approaching it wrong, however. If that's the case, tell me the best way to allow one user to have multiple profiles which are subscription-based on a sliding scale of increasing allotments of space.

And, just to be clear, if this user is a Power User, does their subscription limit the TOTAL space they are using over multiple profiles?

That's my question. So subscriptions are User-based, in effect -- a user can only purchase ONE subscription, correct?

I've done that. It doesn't seem to work that way. If I set up a user as Power User with the ability to create profiles in the selected quotas, they can just make profiles without purchasing subscriptions. They just click on the + button next to a profile name on the profile page and make a new profile.

Got that, but how does that work with subscriptions? Does that Power User purchase multiple subscriptions, one for each profile created? It doesn't appear to work that way. Subscriptions appear to be User-based, not Profile-based; even though you do set them up based on Profile Quotas. Or do they purchase one subscription that covers all of the profiles they create?

So what about multiple profiles? I want my users to have many profiles if they wish. Can a user subscribe to more than one profile?

Using Jamroom

What's sort of throwing me off a bit is the subscriptions aspect when a USER can create multiple profiles. I have a number of profile quotas differentiated only by the amount of space allotted to them. A user signs up for free and then can create any number of profiles; let's call them Fan Sites.

Let's say a user signs up as a member then creates a "Fan Site" for the Pittsburgh Steelers under the 250MB quota. Even though that quota is set as subscription only, the user can create additional profiles by clicking the + button next to a profile name without purchasing a subscription.

So evidently I am approaching it in the wrong way. Subscriptions are not per profile, but per USER. Correct? So if a user has 10 different profiles and my subscriptions are based on space limits, the total of their profiles must fall below that limit -- correct?

If that's the case, related question: if their subscription lapses do ALL of their profiles move to the quota I have set in Foxycart for that event?

I have one user signup quota. User can create multiple profiles. There are multiple quota tiers with additional space by subscription. It appears that while quotas are based on profiles, quota subscriptions are based on user accounts. For instance, if I subscribe to a quota with 500MB of space, all of my profiles together are limited to 500MB. Is that correct?

Thanks, guys.

There is this thread about LDAP into Jamroom ( https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/25719/ldap-authentication ), but I'd like to go from Jamroom to another site. The user would log into Jamroom and then be able to go to the other site without logging in there as their Jamroom credentials would be used to log into the other site.
