This tutorial will come in handy for all mining managers that are managing rigs for their clients, investors, smaller or larger teams, or for those that are sharing the accounts.

To have a better overview and to be more organized with your team members and your customers, we allow you to create two types of users - team members and customers.

Team

You can create accounts for your team members by entering their name, e-mail address, and permission you want to assign them. Optionally you can send them an email invitation (if not, you will need to make sure to let them know about their new access key).

Team member’s accounts have their own access key and have to set their own 2FA and other profile settings. The changes the team members make in their accounts will reflect on your own account. So it is like assigning access to your account to different people.

There are three different permissions options:

  • Partner: The partner account has the same level of rights as the account owner.
  • Manager: The manager account has access to every part of the account except for billing and invoices. They can change configurations, different settings, and switch to customers’ accounts. They can’t create new user accounts.
  • Technical: Technical account has access to workers, control room, different settings, but they can’t change wallet addresses, pools, and monitor the estimated earnings. They can’t create new user accounts.
  • Accounting: Accounting has access to billing, invoices, dashboard, and statistics. They can’t change or update anything on the account with the exception of placing an order.
  • Guest: The guest account has access only to the workers' list and statistics and can’t change or update anything on the account.

Customers

Customers, on the other hand, act like independent, new accounts (without an option to billing and to managing new users) to which you assign the number of workers and you name their plan.

You can create a new customer by entering their name, e-mail address, the plan name you want to show them, the number of workers you want to assign them, and the expiration date of the plan. Optionally, you can send them an email invitation (if not, you will need to make sure to let them know about their new access key).

If you want to have total control over your customers’ accounts, you can enter your own e-mail and all email notifications will come to you.

You can only assign the smaller number of workers that you have available in your own account (since you are the one that paid for these workers and they are yours to manage). After you assign a certain number of workers to your customer, we will treat your account as these workers are used, while your customer will have the same number of workers displayed as available.

Every mining manager that creates new customers has a very easy way to switch between customers’ accounts and their own accounts. Click on your avatar and you will see the clients list right away. Each of them has their own name and their own avatar so you can distinguish between them easier.

Keep in mind that the person having access to the primary account has access to all customers’ accounts. The minerstat+ add-on of the primary account is always added to the customers as well.

Public profile

For those that have total control over their customers’ accounts but customers still want to see what is going on with their account (without having to log in to the dashboard), we offer an option of public profiles.

You can switch to your customer account, go to settings, and enable a public profile. You will receive a unique URL you can share with your customer. If you want to change this URL, you can just disable the public profile and enable it back on - this will generate you a brand new profile URL and those with old URLs won’t be able to access your public profile anymore without knowing the new URL.
