If you have recently been upgraded from the old MessageMedia "Manager" platform and had multiple user accounts, you now have multiple sub-accounts in he new web portal. Some of these accounts may not have sent messages in the recent past. We encourage you to report on your usage and deactivate any accounts you no longer require.
You may have old users that can be put into different categories based on the product used:
- API user - typically set up for API credentials
- Do not deactivate if this account is still active and sending
- Deactivate any dormant API accounts that are no longer required
- Email to SMS user - set up to send SMS from an email client
- Previously you had to create a separate user for each email address registration
- Deactivate dormant sub-accounts
- Now you can register multiple email addresses against a sub-account.
- Create one sub-account for Email to SMS registrations OR
- Create multiple sub-accounts based on work functions or departments
- Previously you had to create a separate user for each email address registration
- Web user- set up to allow users login to the web UI
