Family Management

Family Plans allow multiple independent user accounts to access your service through a single subscription.

Within the Tuned Global platform, a Family Plan is fundamentally a ​subscription-sharing and billing relationship​, rather than a shared user account. One account, known as the ​Plan Owner​, owns and manages the subscription, while one or more ​Shared Users​ receive the subscription's entitlements through their own independent accounts.

Each user retains their own authentication credentials, profile, playlists, favourites, playback history and other personal data. The only shared element is the subscription itself.

Although commonly used for consumer Family Plans, the same capability supports a wide range of group subscription models, including enterprise and business scenarios such as centrally managed Background Music services.

Family Plans support:

• A single billing relationship with multiple independent users.
• Configurable limits on the number of Shared Users.
• Invitation-based onboarding using secure, single-use invitation links.
• Plan Owner management of invitations and Shared Users.
• Individual users joining and leaving the plan without affecting their personal account data.
• Enterprise scenarios where organisations centrally manage access for multiple users or locations.

The Family Plan feature is enabled through a small number of APIs that manage subscription sharing, invitation generation, invitation acceptance and user management.
