Manage group subscriptions for enterprises, schools, and organizations with centralized billing and member access control.
Overview
Memberships let you offer group subscriptions where one owner pays for multiple members. The owner handles all billing and controls who has access. Members share the same entitlements as the owner but never see invoices or payment details.
When the owner cancels or their subscription expires, all members immediately lose access.
How It Works
- Owner subscribes - A customer purchases a membership plan with a specified number of seats
- Owner adds members - The owner invites people by email, or configures automatic access by IP address or email domain
- Members get access - Invited members register or log in to activate their access
Example: A university library purchases a 500-seat subscription. They configure their campus IP range (128.112.0.0/16) for automatic access. Students on campus get access without logging in. The library can also invite specific researchers by email for off-campus access.
