Administration

Inforiver provides a comprehensive and business-friendly user interface for managing and administering schedules. The 'All subscriptions' page is similar to the 'My subscriptions' page except for the fact that it is available only for admin users to view and manage the subscriptions of all other members.

All subscriptions page

The options available on the 'All subscriptions' page are the same as the ones available on the 'My subscriptions' page. Refer to the Manage your subscriptions section to learn more about each of these options in detail.

The 'All subscriptions' and 'User management' pages are available only to admin users.
