If you want to prevent your customers from changing their contact details on and on you can disable your clients form editing them in Registration fields. Here all current profile fields are listed. Choose the field you want to edit, click on the Edit button, go to Advanced options and disable Editable tag. From now on, your clients won't be able to edit their details in this field.

Client Service Groups

Client Service Group section allows to create new groups and assign client services to them. Creating a new group is super simple, as you just need to provide the group name and optionally the description, which is visible only for admins. Each client profile can have multiple Service Groups, but one client service can belong to only one group, however there can be services that are unassigned to any group - and that is the default setting. Groups defined in single client cannot be used by other clients.

To access Service Group management section go to Services (or Domains) -> Manage group button.

Service Groups tab allows to create new groups, browse the existing ones, edit & manage them (change name and description, add or move services between groups).

Services in the group can be re-arranged by drag'n'drop, which will be reflected on invoices (if the due date for those services is the same).

Service Groups names are displayed on the invoice, unless in the Group details you tick the "Do not show group on invoice" box. If the group name is not displayed on the invoice, the services within the group will be just listed separately.

Login as Client

This option allows you to login as a client and access client profile from your client area. This option is a very useful tool, especially when your clients report that they have problems with a certain order or they just simply don't know how to set a given feature. This option allows you to login to the client area and check what's wrong. Also, you may place an order on behalf of your client.
