Account (or resource) is a system macro object which includes users (one of them is account's creator) as well as diverse system micro objects created by end users for tracking purposes: POI, geofences, jobs, notifications, drivers, and report templates. Availability of an account gives user opportunity to create such objects. When an account is deleted, all these objects are automatically deleted with it.

Besides, system macro objects (units, users, unit groups, dependent accounts) can also pertain to an account – in case they have the same creator with this account. Then these objects are also deleted together with the account.

Note that billing plan is applied to an account and not to a user. So, Wialon Hosting manager uses account to limit users' activity, define number and cost of available services, control payment, etc.

An account is usually created for each client individually, however a number of users can exist within one account and have different rights and access to units. For instance, we can create an account Vehicle Fleet 666 with users Boss, Accountant, Machinist, Manager, etc., and each of these users will use Wialon in their own way.

Working with accounts is possible only in CMS Manager. Open the Accounts tab in the navigation panel. Here you can:

• create new accounts;
• find and display existent accounts;
• control clients' balance, add payment and days;
• allow/deny/limit access to different services (features);
• edit and delete accounts.

To view created accounts in the results panel and continue working with them (edit, register payment, delete, etc.), apply some search parameters. In the table of results you see accounts' names, creators (if available) and buttons to delete. Click on any account in the table to see its properties.

The Account Properties dialog can contain several tabs. Their number depends on account configuration and modules you have. By default, only the General tab is available. There you can change only account's name and see its belonging to such or such account. To activate other tabs, a billing plan should be assigned to the account. Then on the Payment, Statistics, Features, and Account tabs you can control payment, add days, define services availability, etc. (see Payment Control and Features for details).

Besides, it is possible to store resource contents in a file or copy elements from one resource to another. See Import and Export for details.
