Group accounts are a subscription option that allows access and print delivery to be managed by a single account owner for a group of readers — ideal for sharing HCN access across an organization or company. Contact marketing@hcn.org to inquire about group accounts.

Add or remove members from a group account

The customer account set up as the owner of the group account — the same login used for billing — can add or delete members from the subscription at any time.

  1. Log in as the group account owner. (The credentials used for billing.)
  2. Open your account dashboard. 
  3. Expand the Subscriptions section. 
  4. Under actions, select Manage Members
  5. To add members, list the email addresses you’d like to invite. Separate email addresses with a comma. Click Invite to send them an email with instructions.
  6. To remove members, click Remove in the actions next to their email address. They will lose online access immediately.

Activating your membership

If you’ve been added as a member to a group subscription, you should have received a notification at the email address used to invite you. Clicking the link in that message to create an account — or logging in if you already have an account associated with that email address — will activate your membership in the group subscription. 

  1. Find the membership invite email from High Country News.
  2. Review the message to confirm what email address was used to invite you (this is important if your email may be forwarded from another address).
  3. Create an account using the email address specified in the invite. Or, if you already have an HCN account using that email address, log in. If you are logged in, you may need to log out and log in again for the Group Accounts section to show up in your dashboard. 
  4. After successfully activating your group membership, you should receive a confirmation email and your membership will be visible under Group Accounts in your account dashboard.

Adding an address to your membership

If your group membership includes delivery of the print magazine (check your invite email to see if you’ve been added to a Full Membership or Digital Membership subscription), you will need to add a shipping address to your membership in order to start receiving the magazine.

  1. Log into your HCN account.
  2. Open your account dashboard.
  3. Expand the Group Accounts section.
  4. Under Actions, click the button for Edit Address.
  5. Add a new address or select an option if you’ve already added an address to your account.
