ARMember Group/Umbrella Membership is an add-on to the membership system that extends the capabilities of standard subscription plans by supporting group and umbrella accounts. Designed for organizations, companies, and projects requiring centralized management of multiple users under a single paid subscription, the solution gives administrators control over seats, permission allocation, and bulk billing.

Key Features of ARMember Group/Umbrella Membership

• Creating group accounts (umbrella accounts) with the ability to assign multiple sub-accounts (memberships) to one plan.
