Creating a Sub-Account

To create a sub-account, follow these steps.

(1) Log in to your Sermons Online account. (2) Click the “Other Accounts” drop-down field next to your church’s name and choose “add sub-account.”

    You will be taken to the Add New Sub-Account screen.

(3) Enter the name of the sub-account in the first field. (4) If desired, provide a longer, more descriptive name for the sub-account in the last field. (5) Press the OK button to create the sub-account.

Sub-accounts have their own content, stylings, and index entries such as Series/Topic. For billing purposes, all the disk space used by sub-account content is rolled up into the master Sermons Online account.

Adding Content to a Sub-Account

Once you have created a sub-account, use the Sermon Publisher to publish content to it. Login to the Publisher with the sub-account's unique Account ID. All accounts share the same password, so use the master account password for all your sub-accounts.

Managing Sub-Accounts

Use the Sermons Online Site Manager to manage your sub-account. As with the Publisher, login with your sub-account's unique Account ID and the shared password. When you are logged into any sub-account, there will be a link on the Home page that will connect you back to your master Sermons Online account. Likewise, when you are logged into your master account, you will see links that will connect you to any of your sub-accounts.

Sermons Online has a sub-account feature that lets you create multiple sermon archives. For example, you may want to have one archive for worship services, and a separate archive for other lectures. Each archive is independent of the others, and typically would be hosted on your web site on different pages.

How to Create a Sub-Account

To create a sub-account, please send a request to our Customer Support staff.

Accessing Accounts

In the Publisher, log in with either your Master or Sub-Account ID to send content to the corresponding archive. All accounts share the same password.

By default, all of your sermons published via Sermons Online are managed as a single archive. However, you may want to have a completely separate archive of sermons, sermons that you intend to list on a entirely different page or section of your web site than your normal sermon archive. For example, you may which to publish your Sunday School lectures on a separate page of your web site, and do not want these recordings to be mixed in with your normal sermon archive.

Sermons Online has a sub-account feature that lets you create multiple sermon archives for this purpose. A sub-account is a completely independent account for publishing purposes, but its disk usage is rolled up into your primary Sermons Online account for billing.

The master account and all sub-accounts share the same password. For example, to add new sermons to a sub-account, you would start the Sermon Publisher, enter the Account ID of the sub-account, but the password of the master account.

Overview

Typically, you will want all of your sermons to be collected together and published as a single archive. This is the default behavior of Sermons Online when you first install and sign-up for the service.

However, you may want to have a completely separate archive of sermons, sermons that you intend to list on a entirely different page or section of your web site than your normal sermon archive. For example, you may which to publish your Sunday School lectures on a separate page of your web site, and do not want these recordings to be mixed in with your normal sermon archive.

Sermons Online has a sub-account feature that lets you create multiple sermon archives for this purpose. A sub-account acts as a completely independent account for publishing purposes. When your monthly usage is calculated, the disk space used by all of your sub-accounts are rolled up into the master account.

It's important to remember that a sub-account is completely independent of your master account. If you ever wanted to list both archives on the same web page, you would have to list them by section -- all the sermons for the master, then all the sermons for the sub-account, and so on.

To add sermons to a sub-account, you simply enter the Account ID of the sub-account in the Sermon Publisher, and the master account's password.

Creating and Updating a Sub-Account

To create a sub-account, click on the link to edit your Site Settings. Under the "Account Settings" section, click the link to "Add a Sub-Account".

Once you have created a sub-account, a new section will appear on the home page of the Site Manager. When you are in the Master Account, this section will provide links to all of the sub-accounts. When managing a Sub-Account, this section will provide a link back to the Master Account.

You cannot completely remove a sub-account, although you can remove all sermons from it.
