At Per-Heh, there are two basic types of accounts, standard and global. A standard account is what most people are used to seeing or working with. This is the type of account that is created when you click on a register now or join now button. This creates a single account for that specific website. If you wish to access a forum that it also on that website, or even one that may be on a slightly different domain name (eg. http://www.domain.com and http://forum.domain.com) you will most likely need to create another account for that specific service. Each web application therefore will have it's own unique account which can lead to the end user having to manage several different accounts all at the same time. If that user should ever change their email address or change anything within their accounts, they would need to take the time to go update all of their accounts. This standard account type is active on all of the publicly accessible Per-Heh websites.

  A global account is a bit different in how it works. Instead of creating multiple accounts to access the various area's within the Per-Heh websites, a user would only need a single account. This account will then propagate to the other various websites upon your first login to those websites. There is no automated process for obtaining a global account, however there are some requirements and limitations. The requirement is to be a Per-Heh Member, and not just a Registered User. This can be easily seen by viewing which group you are in, on Per-Heh Forums.The difference between a Registered User and a Per-Heh Member is a personal choice for people. Those who wish to solely make use of Per-Heh's educational content are Registered Users, while those which practice the faith and apply for temple membership are Per-Heh Members.

  One of the present limitations with the global account, is the lack of an account management page. This means that you will not be able to alter some of the information within the account on your own, and will require an administrator to assist you. Another limitation is the lack of support for this global account on the Per-Heh Image Gallery. Below is a table which will show the various website and which authentication method they support (more than 1 may be active for any given domain):

  Each user or member will be allowed to create a single standard account for themselves on each of the websites which support standard accounts. Multiple standard accounts for the same user on the same website are prohibited. A Per-Heh Member will typically have at least one standard account in combination with a global account. Please note that creating an account on the main Per-Heh website and creating an account on the forums will not break this rule as they are seperate websites as indicated by their URL. It is the creation of multiple accounts on the same website or service that is prohibited.
