# The Hybrid Account Model

Please note: The use of "Owner" and "Admin" in this article refers to users with a primary role of **SAAS Owner** or **SAAS Admin**. 

A hybrid model is a combination of our [Installer Template](https://help.gosolo.io/the-sales-growth-company-model?hsLang=en) and [Direct](https://help.gosolo.io/the-installer-company-model?hsLang=en) models. In this structure, each sub-account under the master, functions as its own Installer Template model. 

It includes a Master Account for owners and admins, sub-accounts to group and house all users, and template accounts underneath each sub, allowing reps to select the installer or state settings for individual customers. 

![Install Account Model (1)](https://help.gosolo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Install%20Account%20Model%20(1).jpg?width=688&height=403&name=Install%20Account%20Model%20(1).jpg)

Characteristics of this model include: 

**Master Account** 

- Typically, the only users housed in the master account are owners and admins.
- Owners and admins under this account can see *all* data from *all* accounts (both subs and their templates).
- Owners within the master account can adjust the MissionControl settings of any sub-account or template at any time.
- Owners and admins under the master can request additional sub-accounts or templates at any time, using our [company updates form](https://support.gosolo.io/company-updates?hsLang=en).
- Billing is assessed on the master account only.

**Sub-Account(s)**

- Users will live within the sub-account, with all visibility restricted to that sub-account and its templates.
- Users will have the ability to select templates for the individual customer during customer creation/the initial proposal request.
- Each user will only have access to the customers they are assigned to, though the same permissions per user still exist (i.e. owners of a sub can view all data within the sub, but Sales Reps can only view *their* customers).

**Template(s)**

- Customers and customer data will be tied to the template selected during the customer creation.
- Templates can be customized via MissionControl by an owner of the master or an owner of the sub-account. This includes equipment, color and logo, finance, adders, and more!
- Templates can be limited to only show up for customers in specific states, I.e. if a customer's address is in TX, and there are NV templates, the NV templates will not be an available option to select.
