NATS5 Account Types

The Account Types page allows you to view which affiliates belong to a specific Account Type, which are preset permission levels in NATS.



There are seven different default account types, all with varying permissions:

• Affiliate: Specifies that the account is a standard affiliate. This account does not have any additional permissions.
• Account Rep: An account representative can be assigned to manage affiliates.
• Customer Service Rep: A Customer Service Rep is a special affiliate who is responsible for managing customer services of your membership sites.
• Site Partner: Site partners typically share revenues and get extra statistics due to their status.
• Sub Admin: A Sub Admin has limited administrative access and can only view and perform actions on certain admin areas in NATS.
• TMM Admin: TMM Admins have full administrative access in NATS, but they can only log in from IP addresses specified in the TMM_ADMIN_IPS configuration option. This can be found in the Configuration tab in the "Security" section.
• Admin: Admins have full administrative access in NATS, and can view and edit whatever they choose. You can also restrict admin access to certain IP's through the "Security" section in the Configuration tab.

Account Types Table

The Account Types table displays the name of each account type, the ID of each account type, and the affiliates that are enabled for each type.

View Enabled Affiliates

To view the enabled affiliates for each type, you can either click on the button under the "Affiliates" column in the table and click "View Enabled Affiliates", or you can click the "Actions" button to the right of the type and click "View Enabled Affiliates".
Clicking on "View Enabled Affiliates" will take you to the Affiliate Management page with only the corresponding affiliates with the account type you choose displayed.

Show Default Permissions

To view the default affiliate permissions, you can either click on the name of the account type or click the "Actions" button to the right of the type and click "Show Default Permissions".


Default permissions are unable to be edited, as they are default. Clicking the "Details" button will display a widget with page specific settings and permissions that are accessible to the account type.

Adding an Account Type

Admins have the ability to create new account types and customize the default permission settings. To create a new account type, click the "Add Account Type" button in the top-right corner of the Account Types page.


Once you have typed in the name of the new account type, click the "Add" button.
