Access permissions can be applied to any site visitor and site member.

In the Dating Pro system, users can be divided into groups with different access rights to various site elements. Such a tool is extremely useful for flexible access settings, especially on large dating sites. The different sets of rights are called access permissions. You can set as many membership group levels as you like with their own activity periods and prices.


There are two modes of operation:

  • General subscription

  • Subscription by user type

Each mode takes unauthorized people (site visitors or guests) into account.

You can limit the number of profiles that guests will be able to see, or you can prohibit the action entirely as well.


General subscription

As for the authorized users, you can go for the General subscription where everyone is supposed to upgrade their membership in order to be allowed access to this or that site section. It can be Chatbox, LikeMe game, or Perfect Matches (a list of potential best matches), and so on.

Start license site sections:

  • Associations

  • Favorites

  • Horoscopes

  • Kisses

  • LikeMe game

  • They liked me

  • Media gallery

  • People near me

  • Perfect matches

  • Polls

  • Questions

  • Top 100

  • Profile visitors

  • Viewing users profiles

  • User gallery

  • Virtual gifts

  • Winks

  • Chatbox

Subscription by user type

You could go for the gender-based mode and distinguish between permissions for men and women or any other user types that you create.

Membership groups

You can create as many membership groups as you wish, decide on which activities to allow, then create activity periods for them and set prices.

For example, 30 days access could cost $7 for Silver group and $15 for Premium group, and so on.


This is what the list of membership groups will look like in the user mode:

You can see all the functionality that will be available to you once you activate your memebership on this page

FAQ

Can members upgrade mid-subscription from silver to premium? If not, could this be a future enhancement for easier upgrades?

You can update your subscription at any time, but without any proration of the period and at full price. We used to have proration, but we removed it after receiving complaints. Some payment providers, like CCBill for sure (others maybe not), require that subscription updates be removed; otherwise, payments might not even go through.
