The Secure Client Invite feature allows you to manage your users' trades without requiring them to publicly share their exchange API keys with you. It is a seamless and secure way to onboard clients to your Cornix Asset Manager or Community Admin account, giving you the ability to manage their trades and view statistics while maintaining strict security.
🛒 API Slots & Capacity
To invite users, you must have available Primary API Slots attached to your active subscription plan.
Slot Usage: A single API slot covers one user connection.
Multiple Sub-Exchanges: A user can connect multiple sub-exchanges (for example, Binance Spot, Binance Futures, and Coin-M) using a single invite link. This takes up only one slot, as long as the user connects them all at the exact same time during the initial setup.
Validity and Reusability: Your API slots remain valid and available for use for as long as your monthly or annual subscription remains active. If a user is disconnected or removed, that specific slot is immediately freed up and can be reused for a new client.
💡 Note: If all of your plan's API Slots are currently in use, users trying to connect will receive an error. You will need to navigate to your Billing dashboard, purchase an additional tier of API slots, and then share a new invite link with them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long is a Secure Client Invite link valid? For security reasons, invite links expire exactly 24 hours after they are generated. If your client does not use it in time, you must generate a new one.
Do my API slots expire? API slots do not have a fixed expiration date. They remain valid and available for use as long as your Cornix monthly or annual subscription is active.
Why can't I give my client "Read & Write" access? Client access permissions are tied to your subscription tier. To grant clients "Read & Write" access so they can manage their own trades, you must be subscribed to the Community Admin plan. The Asset Manager plan restricts clients to "No Access" or "Read Only".
What happens if my client connects multiple sub-exchanges? As long as the client connects all their desired sub-exchanges (like Binance Spot and Binance Futures) at the exact same time during the initial onboarding link flow, it will only consume one of your API slots.
What if my client wants to connect another exchange account? You will need to generate a new secure invite link in order for your client to connect one more exchange account, which will also consume an API slot.
What should I do if I run out of API slots? If all your slots are active, new users will not be able to connect via their invite links. You will need to navigate to your Users Management tab and purchase an additional tier of API slots to accommodate new users.
