General Settings

Under General Settings, the admin can enable users to register as a parent or sub-user.

Under Main/Parent User Configuration, the admin can:

• Allow parent users to assign cart to the sub-users.
• Enable parent users to add, edit, or delete sub-users.
• Choose to send notification to main user when a cart is assigned by the sub-user.

After the installation of the module, two new options add on the customer registration page at the back end.

• Manage Sub User: If enabled, then the customer will register as a parent user. And, the admin can also add some sub-users under this parent user afterwards.
• Is Sub-User: If enabled, then a new user will register as a sub-user on the shop.

While creating a sub-user, the admin can select under which parent he wants to keep this sub-user.

The admin can create or update both customer as a parent and sub-users from the customer page.

Parent users can create sub-users from their accounts. Also, users can register as sub-users from the registration page.

After signing in to the account, a parent user can see two new tabs Sub-Users and Assigned Cart in his account.

On clicking the Sub-Users tab, following page will open. In case, if the parent user has no Sub-Users then the list will be empty.

The admin can create a sub-user by clicking on ‘Add New Sub User’ button. On clicking the button, a form opens on the page where a parent user needs to fill in the details to create a sub-user.

After saving the details, sub-user gets added on the shop. The parent user can edit the details or delete the sub-user.

After the parent user creates a sub-user, the sub-user adds to the list of inactive sub-users at the admin’s end.

The new sub-user is added to the inactive sub-user list only when their account approval & email verification is made mandatory. Else, these sub-user accounts will be approved automatically.

The following screenshot shows the template of the email that sub-user receives to verify his/her account.

A sub-user can verify his/her account by clicking on ‘Verify Account’ button.

After the approval of account, the name of the sub-user gets removed from the list.
