Adding credits

We don’t normally use credits because we host our own RapidPro instances and are billed by our SMS providers.

The permissions for adding credits are a bit strange. Administrators can’t add credits, you need to be a Django superuser. You can do this in a Python shell or in the database.

Once you’re a superuser, it’s really hard to find the interface for adding an arbitrary Top Up.

You can go to /org/update/1/ and get a button to go to the Top Ups interface where you can add a new Top Up.

The maximum number of credits in a Top Up is the size of an IntegerField in Django, which is 2147483647.
