Agency
Agency - a legal entity that has entered into direct contracts for the use of XML web services with service providers (GDS or CDS), or has received such a license or sublicense from Mute Lab Software under an existing agreement.
The agency receives a limited license for the proprietary Websky software, which is transferred to the subscriber under the terms of the agreement and implies connection and use of the system on domain names.
There is an option to extend the agency license - allocation of additional license for the agency to install the Websky system on another domain name with another isolated account.
System subscriber has the right to obtain a sub-agent license. It gives an opportunity to organize a network of subagent TUPs on partner satellite sites operating in a limited mode (B2C only) under the terms of the agreement within the framework of an agent license. With a subagent license, the allocation of isolated accounts for subagents is not possible and system administration is performed by the agency within a single account.

Agency Settings in Websky
The Company profiles page in the Account management → Agents and users section contains a set of key parameters that characterize any organization in the system (agency, subagent, corporate client):
- Company name - displayed on the portal and in emails.
- Agency official name - displayed on outgoing documents.
- TIN - should be filled in in case of using the functionality of uploading data about agent's selling points to MPS (see Synchronization with the MPS payment system).
- OGRN - similarly.
- Currency - the base currency in which the agency accepts money and issues invoices. By default, all prices on the website will be displayed in this currency. The total price of services, payment charge and the whole order is rounded upwards in the agency's currency. Prices in Euros, U.S. dollars, British pounds, and Azerbaijani Manats are rounded to a hundredth. Prices in Russian rubles and other currencies are rounded to integers. The difference is added to the agent's fee.
The ten fields below are informative and are not obligatory, but can be used in the outgoing documents (templates of invoices and receipts for payment). Also, if a subagent (company) registers independently on the agent's website through the legal entity registration form, the fields filled in during registration will be saved in that company's profile in the settings.

Attention! In case of tickeitng in Amadeus, Sabre and GalileoUAPI, all the specified data on the order is supported. When tickeitng from Sirena and SITA - only the subagent ID in a third-party CRM. The agent is supposed to set up their own CRM or other system so that it handles these remarks correctly. This ID will be the same for all bookingsof all users within a particular subagency.
Call Center
Call center is an agency mode that grants all of its users the status of a call center operator regardless of the previously set user type. The call center operator has reduced access to the settings, but increased access to the server orders, provided for the convenience of secondary operations with ancillary services, as well as electronic tickets and documents (eg Air ticket Exchange and Refund or PNR import to a new order). All call center users are restricted to Access rights by the access rights set on the agency.
Attention! The call center operator is not available to confirm the request during the refund process.
Registration of new agency users in call center mode is not possible, unregistered users are blocked access to the agency.
Call Center mode for the agency can be enabled only by the administrator of the Websky system under 'For technical support → Initial setup.
