Well ok, sort of..

However it is S2member that has changed the permissions that is globally preventing the access to all the admin pages, which is why I posted the question here not in the wordpress support forums.

In looking at Mailchimp its clear that is the correct way for me to go as their API and the general quality is well worth the $50- 70 a month.

I have configured the Mailchimp API integration and tested that a new subscriber goes thought the double-opt-in process. All looks great!

However I don’t see anywhere an easy way to sync my existing 6,000 plus S2member subscribers, with my Mailchimp lists or without a second opt in process. I see I can manually export them from S2member and import them via csv into mailchimp in which case they will not have double opted in, but I guess I can live with that.

Is there any better process? I was kind of expecting a button to sync them up once the API hooks were made.

Many thanks

Well the reality is that if the Admin has full control of the user name, email address and password they have full control anyway as they can simply login as the user and change whatever they like :-)

I agree they don’t necessarily need to have full access to the profile within the application, but they do need to change the email address and user name and be able to reset the pwd.

Hi Cristián

Here are my thoughts on features as you request.

– Child accounts must have a reference to the parent account.
So you can find them in reports and searches
– The Child accounts are identical to a normal account except they have the parent reference.
– Child accounts can have any access level equal to or lower than the parent.
For example a master account is say Level 7 a child can be 7, 6,5,4,3,2,1, or 0
The level for each child is assigned by the parent.
– Downloads: The administrator can assign elect if the downloads are per user or per group.
For example each child and the parent can have 100 downloads each. Or the whole group can have 500 downloads
– The Parent can see either the download count per child, or the total downloads (nice to have both)
– The administrator can assign how many child accounts a parent has. (this is a little like some Governments lol)
– The parent creates the child accounts via his/her profile where there is an add Child Account button they fill in the details and there is a dropdown to choose the Level for the account.
– The parent has the ability to modify the child account profile but other than the password the child does not.
– If you want to get granular you may want to design it where the child accounts can create infant accounts. This helps with large organizations that have Departments or Divisions.

I think that will do it for me. Hope that helps.
