Group Account Management in the WP Admin

You can see all group accounts on a site by going to Leaky Paywall > Group Accounts. Here you can see the information about a group account, including the owner and number of members.  It is important to remember that only the Group Owner will show up as a Leaky Paywall subscriber. All other members will only have WP user accounts, not Leaky Paywall subscriber accounts. 

Group Account Management for a Group Owner

The group owner can manage their group from the Group Dashboard page that you set. From here they can add new members, remove members, resend invites, and manage their group settings. The status of their group is tied to their Leaky Paywall account status. As long as their Leaky Paywall subscriber account remains active, the group status will remain active. 

All members of the group will have the same access that is set on the level settings for the group the owner signed up for when registering.
