I'm moving to User Manager from a hotspot system that allowed me to set "account activation" to its first login/right now/at given time.

What I used most was first login. So I could create 100 batch accounts with credit 1week and 10 hours of uptime, and the 1 week period started counting when this account first logged in, so I didn't have to worry about activating accounts.

Now I'm trying to do the same on User Manager, and I don't know how/when user manager activates the time counter for an account.

Anyone could give me a light?

Thanks in advance

Time counting start from the 1st user login, so you have to use credit time as 1 week and uptime limit 10 hours.

Thanks! That was rigth what I needed.

Wiki documentation for User Manager is huge,

Hi, i am doing some test wit user-mangager, My questions is:

I need to give a user one prepaid card, this card has 10 hours of credit, and the card expire after 30 days of the first loging.

Te problem is, that when the client logoff the expiration time stop counting, so, the card will never expire.

How could i do this?

There are two counters in the user manager - credit time and uptime. The uptime counter stops as soon as the user logout while the credit time does not. The credit time counter keeps counting even when the user logs out until the time is exhausted and the ticket is then expired.

is there anyway that the counter will stop as soon as the customer logs out? I dont see the purpose of logging out if time continues running.

yes, specify an uptime limit at the add user interface and the time will stop counting when the user logs out, it will then continue counting when the user logged back in until the uptime limit is reached.
