NATS4 Members Admin
The NATS4 Members Admin is a feature that allows you to search for a specific member, manage your members, edit their information and permissions, and look up information and histories of their subscriptions and actions.
The Member Search section allows you to find specific members by using parameters such as Member ID, username, e-mail, address, name, country, etc. Using the search function lets you narrow down your member list through specific factors. Once you have executed your search, the Members list will show basic information about each matching member. This information includes:
- Member ID - the ID number that NATS automatically assigns to a new member
- Username/Password - the member's username will be displayed in the top row, and their password in the bottom row
- Name/E-Mail - the member's real name will be displayed in the top row, and their e-mail in the bottom row
- Site/Tour - this displays which site and affiliate tour the user registered through
- Program/Affiliate - this displays which program and affiliate the member is associate with through NATS
- Joined/Expired - this displays the member's join date in the top row, with when their membership is set to expire on the bottom row.
To the right of each member are several action icons:
- View Member Details shows the member's details, including the member's referring affiliate and subscriptions
- Edit Member Details lets you change the member's recorded personal details, including their password and account status
- Delete Member lets you delete a member. This option isn't always available; for more information, please see the Deleting Members section below
Member Listings
Your Members Admin lists more members than sales because it tracks surfers that tried to join and failed. To only see signed-up members, set the transaction type to Initial.
Deleting Members
You can only delete members not associated with a biller. Usually, members without a biller were manually added. The Delete Member icon only appears for members you can delete.
Expiring Members
NATS only expires a member when a biller tells it to. Members that show up as Expired or Canceled in a biller, but not in NATS, indicate the biller didn't successfully tell NATS that that member expired or canceled. If this happens, make sure polls are working correctly. Also double check your biller's account info.
As soon as the biller expires a member, NATS cancels that's member's access. Even for a non-recurring membership, NATS won't show a member's expiration date -- NATS waits for the biller to say a member is expired.

Trial Members
To add a trial member in the Members Admin, click the Add a Member tab. In the form, add the member's username and password, select the site from the drop-down, select their expire date, and optionally check the Trial box. Click Add Member. If you clicked the Trial box, the Member is added as a trial member, limiting their access to the trial area if applicable.
In the members table, the column named, trial, is 0 for full members and 1 for trial members.
Logging Member Access
The Member Logging article describes keeping a log of member logins.
