Manage Teams and Clients with SMS Sub-Accounts

TextTorrent SMS sub-accounts help agencies and multi-team businesses create permissioned users for clients, departments, or locations. Assign roles and permissions so team access, campaign work, and conversation handling stay organized under one parent account.

Separate Clients and Teams

Control User Access

Maintain Parent-Level Oversight

The Challenge

One Shared Workspace Becomes Difficult to Manage

Agencies and multi-team organizations need clearer separation between unrelated messaging work. Without structured user access, client data, campaign ownership, and oversight become harder to manage.

Client Data Becomes Mixed

Client Data Becomes Mixed

Unrelated contacts, campaigns, and conversations should not be managed through one undifferentiated user setup when teams serve different clients or departments.

User Access Becomes Too Broad

User Access Becomes Too Broad

Every team member may not need the same ability to view contacts, send campaigns, or manage inbox conversations across the whole organization.

Campaign Ownership Becomes Unclear

Campaign Ownership Becomes Unclear

Teams need clear account context before sending or replying so client and department work stays attached to the right users.

Oversight Becomes More Difficult

Oversight Becomes More Difficult

Managers need a structured way to review supported account activity without manually combining unrelated team work.

The TextTorrent Account Structure

Create Separate Messaging Workspaces Under One Parent Account

TextTorrent connects a parent account to sub-accounts (permissioned users), roles, permissions, contacts, campaigns, numbers, templates, conversations, analytics, and plan limits. Use this hierarchy to organize day-to-day messaging work without inventing unsupported enterprise tenancy claims.

Parent Account → Sub-Account → Roles and Permissions → Contacts, Numbers, Campaigns, and Conversations

  1. Parent Account
  2. Sub-Account
  3. Assigned Users
  4. Contacts, Numbers, Campaigns, and Conversations

How It Works

How to Set Up an SMS Sub-Account in TextTorrent

Use a clear setup sequence so roles, users, messaging tools, and oversight stay connected from the start.

01

Configure Roles and Permissions

Define the access each team member needs before assigning work. Available controls include roles and permission strings such as viewing contacts, sending messages, viewing the inbox, viewing analytics, creating campaigns, and managing notes.

02

Create the Sub-Account

Add the required user details: first name, last name, username, email, and password. Assign a role and optional permissions, then set a daily SMS limit when needed.

03

Assign Users to the Right Work

Use each sub-account for the client, department, or location work that person will handle. Access still depends on the role and permissions assigned to that user.

04

Add Contacts and Numbers

Associate supported contacts and business numbers with the messaging work those users will run. Do not assume automatic migration between unrelated account setups.

05

Configure Templates and Campaign Access

Prepare message templates and campaign access according to the permissions assigned. Templates are user-specific, and parent accounts can review supported sub-user templates where available.

06

Begin Messaging

Assigned users can manage campaigns and conversations within the access granted by their role, permissions, and daily SMS limits.

  1. Set permissions
  2. Create sub-account
  3. Assign users
  4. Add contacts and numbers
  5. Configure messaging tools
  6. Start work

User Access

Give Team Members the Access Their Work Requires

TextTorrent supports role-based access for sub-accounts. The role names below appear in TextTorrent API documentation as typical examples. Confirm the exact labels shown in your account before treating them as contractual UI names.

Sales Agent

Typical example permissions: view contacts, send messages, and view inbox.

  • view_contacts
  • send_messages
  • view_inbox

Marketing Manager

Typical example permissions: contacts, messaging, inbox, analytics, and campaign creation.

  • view_contacts
  • send_messages
  • view_inbox
  • view_analytics
  • create_campaigns

Support Rep

Typical example permissions: contacts, messaging, inbox, and notes management.

  • view_contacts
  • send_messages
  • view_inbox
  • manage_notes

Admin

Typical example setup with broader permissions and no daily SMS limit (0 = unlimited in API terms).

  • All permissions

Verified permission areas

  • view_contacts
  • send_messages
  • view_inbox
  • view_analytics
  • create_campaigns
  • manage_notes
  • Daily SMS limits can be set per sub-account.
  • A daily SMS limit of 0 means unlimited sending under the account’s available credits.
  • Sub-accounts share the parent account’s credits.
  • Do not assume every user can view every contact, campaign, or conversation.

Workspace Separation

Keep Contacts, Campaigns, and Conversations in the Right Account

Use sub-accounts to organize who can work on which client, department, or location activity. Access is scoped by role and permissions. This is account-level organization—not a claim of complete legal database isolation.

Agency Client

  • Assigned agency users for that client’s work
  • Client-focused contacts and campaigns under controlled access
  • Client business numbers used in the correct campaign context
  • Parent oversight of the assigned sub-accounts

Business Department

  • Department users with role-appropriate permissions
  • Department templates owned by those users
  • Department messaging workflow for outbound and replies

Business Location

  • Location-specific users and contacts
  • Local business numbers where configured
  • Regional campaigns under the right sending context
  • Assigned local team members

TextTorrent helps organize users and access. Customers remain responsible for configuring permissions, protecting customer data, and keeping client or location work in the correct operational context.

Account Management

Maintain Oversight Without Mixing Daily Work

Parent accounts can manage supported sub-account settings while assigned users handle day-to-day messaging inside their granted access.

Oversight

  • View the sub-account list
  • Create sub-accounts
  • Update roles, permissions, and daily SMS limits
  • Enable or disable sub-account access
  • Delete sub-accounts when appropriate
  • Login as a sub-user for support purposes
  • Review supported sub-user templates where available

Daily work

  • Assigned users operate with their role and permissions
  • Users send messages within daily SMS limits and available credits
  • Users manage conversations and campaigns they are allowed to access
  • Users work with their own message templates

Do not assume a consolidated cross-account analytics dashboard. Parent oversight covers the supported management actions listed for your account.

For Agencies

Manage Multiple SMS Clients Without Combining Their Work

Scenario: an agency manages SMS campaigns for five clients. Use sub-accounts to assign the right people, permissions, and messaging context to each client’s work.

  1. Create one sub-account user for each client owner or account manager.
  2. Assign the appropriate agency users and permissions.
  3. Add each client’s opted-in contacts and business numbers in the correct operational context.
  4. Create client-specific message templates for those users.
  5. Prepare campaigns with the correct audience and sending number.
  6. Review client-specific analytics where permissions allow.
  7. Manage replies in the inbox context those users can access.
  8. Maintain parent-account oversight across the assigned sub-accounts.
  • Reduces account confusion across client work
  • Keeps campaigns in the correct client context
  • Limits unnecessary user access
  • Keeps reporting more organized by assigned users and permissions
  • Supports client-specific numbers and templates in day-to-day workflows

For Multi-Location Teams

Organize Messaging by Branch, Region, or Location

Scenario: a business operates several locations, each with its own team and customer list. Create sub-accounts for local users, then keep location work organized through permissions and account context.

Centralized cross-location reporting is not claimed unless your account shows a dedicated consolidated report.

Messaging Operations

Build Campaigns with the Correct Account Context

Before sending, confirm the active user context, audience, number, and template. Account context helps reduce operational mistakes, but software cannot prevent every user error.

  1. Confirm the active sub-account or user context.
  2. Review the contact audience.
  3. Confirm the sending number.
  4. Select the correct template.
  5. Verify the message use case and consent expectations.
  6. Send or schedule.
  7. Review analytics within the same account context.
  • Helps prevent using the wrong client list
  • Helps avoid sending from the wrong number
  • Keeps campaign reports organized by the users who ran the work
  • Helps users review the correct conversation history for follow-up

Message Governance

Keep Reusable Messages Consistent Across Teams

Message templates help teams reuse approved wording for campaigns and two-way replies. In TextTorrent, templates are user-specific. Parent accounts can review supported sub-user templates where that access is available.

  1. User creates a template
  2. Template is available for that user’s messaging work
  3. Parent reviews supported sub-user templates when needed
  4. Template is used in campaigns or two-way chat

A multi-step legal-review or enterprise approval chain is not claimed.

Number Management

Assign the Right Business Numbers to Each Workspace

Business numbers should match the client, department, or location context before campaigns and conversations begin. Number capability and availability may vary by registration status and account setup.

Unlimited numbers per sub-account and number portability are not claimed. Confirm current number options in your account.

Team Conversations

Manage Replies Within the Appropriate Account

Incoming replies, Claims, inbox ownership, contact history, and assigned users should stay connected to the correct account context before someone claims or responds to a conversation.

A unified inbox across every sub-account, automatic round-robin routing, and collision detection are not claimed.

Frequently Asked Questions

SMS Sub-Account Questions, Answered

Practical answers for agencies and multi-team businesses evaluating TextTorrent sub-accounts.

An SMS sub-account is a permissioned user under a TextTorrent parent account. Organizations use sub-accounts to organize work for clients, teams, departments, or locations while keeping oversight with the parent account.

Sub-accounts are useful for agencies, multi-location businesses, separate departments, franchises, and client service teams that need structured user access instead of one shared login.

Verified controls include role assignment, permission strings such as viewing contacts, sending messages, viewing the inbox, viewing analytics, creating campaigns, and managing notes, plus daily SMS limits. Templates are user-specific. Messaging activity remains linked to the parent account, and sub-accounts share parent credits.

Yes. Parent accounts can create multiple sub-accounts and assign roles and permissions to each user. Visibility and access depend on that configuration, so do not assume every user can view every client or department workflow.

Sub-accounts provide controlled user access for messaging work. Contacts, campaigns, and conversations should be managed in the correct operational context for each client, department, or location. Complete legal database isolation is not claimed.

Parent accounts can list, create, update, enable or disable, and delete sub-accounts, and can login as a sub-user for support. Parent accounts can also review supported sub-user templates where available. A consolidated cross-account analytics dashboard is not claimed.

Current pricing configuration positions Growth with up to 5 sub-accounts and Pro with unlimited sub-accounts. Starter sub-account availability is not stated in the current plan highlights. Unlimited does not remove fair-use or account restrictions.

TextTorrent does not charge an additional platform seat fee when users are added. Plan limits, permissions, messaging credits, numbers, registration, and other usage costs may still apply.

Teams should use the business numbers that match each client or location workflow. Number capability depends on account setup, registration status, and available inventory. Unlimited numbers per sub-account are not claimed.

Yes. Message templates are user-specific, so sub-account users can create templates for their own messaging work. Parent accounts can review supported sub-user templates where that access is available. A multi-step enterprise approval chain is not claimed.
