Specify Name and Description of the group, number of accounts. Specify Credit Amount. Note! Set Credit to ZERO (0.00) to prevent accounts from accessing any services after registering. If you wish to allow "demo" or "free calls within network", please allow at least 0.01 Credit (non-zero). Select Rate table which will be assigned to these accounts after they register.

2. After accounts are generated, they become "disabled" state, i.e. cannot be used. To make them avaiable for web registration, go to "Account Groups" menu item and select account group by its name. Select "Change Status" dropdown and choose "Available". If necessary, update expiration date, reseller or other settings. Proceed to "Routing" and "Billing" tabs and setup accordingly.

3. To enable selfregistration globally in the system, go to "Tools" menu "Options" submenu. Fill "Administrator Email" with address which will appear in email sent to registering users. This address will also receive information when any End users processes Selfregistration.  Select "Enable Selfregistration" checbox.

To draw account from resellers account batch and register user to resellers domain, append Resellers numeric ID to the page URL. Example: normal billing URL:  http://somehost/billing/   resellers URL: http://somehost/billing/12. Here reseller ID is 12.  This ID is found in Resellers details page and is named "Reference ID".
