Adding Subscribers

This section describes how to add and configure subscribers with SDX Admin. You can also add subscribers when they register through a portal. Data collected through portals is used to create profiles for the subscriber.

The tasks to configure subscribers are:

The subscriber hierarchy requires that the objects immediately subordinate to retailers be subscriber folders. You can, however, use subscriber folders subordinate to other subscriber objects to organize groups of subscribers.

An access can be both a subscriber to a value-added service and a subscription to an access service. For information about configuring access subscriptions, see Configuring Access Subscriptions.

After you add subscribers, you can add operators and configure subscriptions. See Adding Operators and Configuring Subscriptions.
