To add video units and assign an administrator username to one or more Stratocast™ accounts, you must first create a client account.
Before you begin
Make sure that you have the required contact information for both the client and the
account administrator.
What you should know
You can create multiple sites for a single client account and have each site
managed by the same administrator username. For example, let's assume that your client has multiple stores, each with its own
set of users and assigned video units. With a multi-account username, you can create
an account for each of those stores (thereby creating multiple sites), and assign
the same client administrator username to manage each of those sites.
Procedure
Click Clients
> Create a client account.
Enter the following and then click Next:
Account name
The name of your client’s account. This is the name that the
client is identified by in the Client accounts page.
Country
The country that the client is located in. The country that you select is used to
choose the closest data center to your individual
clients.
Important: Selecting the correct country ensures that your client's data
travels the quickest and shortest possible route to get to Stratocast™.
Time zone
The time zone that the client is located in.
Client reference number
A reference number that is used to identify this client in
your accounting system. The client reference number is included in your billing
statements.
Subscription term
The duration of the term of your client's Stratocast™ subscription. For information about
subscriptions, see www.stratocast.com.
Important: You can only
change the subscription term if the client account does not have any cameras in the
Enrolled state. Once cameras are enrolled, any changes to the subscription
term will take effect only after the current term ends. For example, if an account is
moved from an annual to a monthly term, the monthly billing frequency will only take
effect once the current annual term ends.
In the Client address section, enter the client's
address and then click Next.
Note: The country that was entered on the previous section (Account
information) is displayed in the
Country field. If you need to change it, return
to the Account information section.
In the Client administrator section, enter the client
administrator’s full name and the following:
Language
The language of the user interface. The user must log off and then
log on for this change to take effect.
Identity provider
The Internet site that provides the user with their user
account, which enables single sign-on access to the system.
Username
The username of the valid user account that is required to log on
to the system. To better manage your accounts, you can add the same username to multiple
Stratocast™ accounts and for different user levels. For example, the same username can be assigned for
an integrator user in one account and a client administrator in another
account.
Note: The Username field can only be edited after
the user has activated their account.
(Optional) Clear the Same as
username check box, and enter an email address if you want the
user to receive emails at a different email address to the one in the
Username field. Select this check box if you want the
Username and Email address
values to be the same.
Click Create.
The Account state column changes from Creating to
Active. The client account is created.
Example
After you finish
If your client has multiple locations, create multiple sites
for your client account.
