Managing Subscribers Using Control Center

The Control Center Interface enables you to manage subscribers and perform various operations to get information about subscribers, track subscriber sessions, to construct and populate custom reference data tables and so on.

CPS enables users to be aware of its current privileges while accessing Control Center as describes below:

  • If a user has read-write privilege then "ADMIN" is displayed adjacent to user name in the GUI.

  • If a user has read-only privilege then "READONLY" is displayed adjacent to user name in the GUI.

Depending on your role and permissions, you can view certain screens in Control Center Interface. The following table describes the two roles and their respective access of Control Center Interface.
