Acapela Cloud

It is generally recommended, whenever possible, to create or ask to create a generic dispatcher/admin account whose credentials can be shared by multiple trusted team members.

Note that the admin email (e.g., adminacapelacloud@mycompany.com) does not need to correspond to a real, active mailbox.
It simply serves as a central account identifier.

From this central account, you can then create and manage individual user/project sub-accounts.

For example:

adminacapelacloud@mycompany.com
→ a@mycompany.com
→ b@mycompany.com
→ ...

With this setup, the admin account can also:

- Create and manage projects or dictionaries
- Share them with one or multiple users
- Manage and allocate credits between accounts

Another advantage is continuity:

If one person with admin access is unavailable, another authorized person can take over without disruption.

Similarly, if a user (e.g., b@mycompany.com) no longer needs access, its account can be deleted and replaced with a new one (e.g., c@mycompany.com) without impacting the overall system.

The dispatcher tool allows you to create and manage suscriber accounts.
A subscriber account is an Acapela Cloud account referenced by its the email given, to which you can grant credits.
A subscriber account will have access to the same voices and options as yours and will be able to create his own projects or dictionaries.
But you will also be able to share with your subscribers the projects and dictionaries you created, to let them work on it in collaboration.

To create a subscriber account first click on the 'Add subscriber' button


Then fill the information:

- Email address
- Name and First Name
- Password (the subscriber owner will be able to change it later)

- The account type

standalone : give some credits from your account. Subscriber will be blocked when its credits are empty
unlimited : will use your credits directly until your credits are empty

When done click on create and an email will be sent to the subscriber email with all the information to login

You can later edit the subscriber by clicking on the ... button and change its information, add/remove some credits or change the account type
You can also delete subscribers. If you allowed some credits to it, the credits left will be added to your dispatcher credits

Once you created subscribers you can share with them the projects or dictionaries you created
To do that simply select the project/dictionary you'd like to share and click on the sharing option you want for each subscriber
