Managing Plans

In SiteBuilder, Plan is a set of limits applied to each user account. The general purpose of Plans is to regulate distribution of the SiteBuilder resources, such as hosts, sites, modules, and so on among the SiteBuilder users.

In SiteBuilder, Plans can be created and managed only by the administrator or resellers. Such users create Plans and then assign them to their dependent users. Dependent users, in their turn, can create their own Plans within the limits set in the Plan assigned to them by a higher user. For information about creating user accounts and assigning Plans to them, read the Managing Users chapter, later in this guide.

The SiteBuilder Administrator or resellers can set one of their Plans as a trial Plan. This Plan will be used by their dependent users for creating trial sites.

For you, as administrator, the SiteBuilder license plays a role of Plan. For detailed information about the license, read the Viewing System Information chapter, later in the guide.
