How to Create Non-Email User Accounts
When IT or operational policies prohibit the use of email addresses for user names, a new account alias function can now be enabled as an alternative. Non-email users can access remote clients, receive alert push notifications, share video clips, and use most other OpenEye Web Services (OWS) features which do not require email notifications. Non-Email User Accounts are yet another great example of how OpenEye works to meet the complex needs of our sophisticated user base.
NOTE: Non-Email User Accounts are only available with certain licensing tiers. See OWS Licensing for more information.
