shared balances for multiple phone numers

[Александр Чудов]

Hello community!

I need help in next question.
Our company want next functional:

many phone numbers (lines/msisdns) should use ONE monetary balance and ONE example of not monetary balance (voice/sms/data).

Is it possible to use CGRateS standard functional for this task? If yes which, and how?

I searched in DOCs and here in group and found next:
1) There is some "shared groups" in docs http://cgrates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tariff_plans.html#shared-groups 
but description in doc isn't full. What this "shared groups" means? Can I use it for my task?
And yes, I saw this part in tutorial http://cgrates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tut_cgrates_usage.html#id6
Seams good, but it isn't clear how to set up  "shared groups".
2) in some topics here in group I found mention about "shared balances"
Is this the same as "shared groups"? If not, what the difference between these to notions?

I will be appreciate for any help!

Aleksandr.

Hi Aleksandr,

In your case I would use Account in the events pointing the common
account. Subject can stay as msisdn.

Shared balances (same as shared groups), are simple tags which you add
to your balances, making them part of a shared group.

By using a single account (not shared balances) you get centralized
balance management as well as faster queries.

Thank you DanB for your advice.

Ok, "single account" is my solution.

For standard msisdns we use next keys in redis cgrates:
user = usr_tenant:34111111111

account = acc_tenant:34111111111

+ "derived charges" and "rating profile" keys.

(all keys contains MSISDN as account and subject!)

Am I right understand, that for "single account" solution, I need create:
1) account =  acc_tenant:single_account_name (use some name for account instead of MSISDN)

2) user = usr_tenant:34111111111, but inside user should be:

tenant = tenant

account = single_account_name

subject = 34111111111

requestType = xxxxx

cli = 34111111111

?

And what additionally I should create to get "single account" solution?

Best regards, Aleksandr.

Yes, this should do, although I would recommend you to start using
AttributeS instead of UserS since it is more flexible and we will
discontinue support for users.

It depends on whether it will work for you but no, I think this should
be all.

Thanks, DanB!

But what do you mean "start using AttributeS instead of UserS"?

What attributes should we use? And start from what version of CGRateS?

Aleksandr,

I am talking about AttributeS which is available in master.
Configured here:
