Managing Subscriptions

Managing subscriptions includes adding subscriptions to groups, removing subscriptions from groups, setting the status of subscription objects, and associating users with subscriptions. You can perform these operations by using MATRIXX Backoffice Customer Tool and any custom applications that call the SubMan APIs.

User Relationships

There is a many-to-many relationship between users and subscriptions and between users and groups.
Note: Subscriptions and groups can have only one owner. A user can own multiple subscriptions or groups. A subscription can be associated with any number of users with the admin or observer roles. See the discussion about user roles for more information.

Object Relationship Configuration

During installation and configuration, answer the following user, group, and subscription questions to configure relationships between these objects:
  • How many users do you want to support?
  • What is the average size of a user object in bytes?
  • What is the initial size of a user object in bytes?
  • How many userSubscriptionJoin objects do you want to support?
  • What is the average size of a userSubscriptionJoin object in bytes?
  • How many userGroupJoin objects do you want to support?
  • What is the average size of a userGroupJoin object in bytes?
  • What is the initial size of a userGroupJoin object in bytes?
