Whether you build a membership or subscription solution is up to you. But it's important to know the difference.

Memberships and Subscriptions

Online member portal: Give login permissions to your members and limit content access for members only.

You can use WHERE clause with UPDATE query to update selected rows, otherwise all the rows would be updated. Following is the basic syntax of UPDATE query with WHERE clause. UPDATE tablename SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2., columnN = valueN WHERE condition.

If you've ever wanted to buy pounds of quinoa at ridiculously low prices, you've likely considered a Costco membership. Costco membership isn't super expensive, but it gets you access to a warehouse full of stuff that you didn't know you'd need until you see it.

And while it's true that you can buy liquor, prescriptions, shots, pizza and hot dogs from their food court and gift cards without a membership card, everything else—those amazing deals—all require that you have a current membership.

The membership gets you access to the store and discounts on stuff. But to keep your membership active, you have to pay a yearly fee—that's the subscription.

And because they're both so closely connected, few people make the distinction between them. So it's easy to hear the terms treated as synonyms when they're not.

They're two different concepts completely. And it's worth understanding the value of each.

What is a membership?

A membership is the notion of belonging. It's a relational concept.

It says nothing of cost or price, though most memberships end up having a cost to them. Whether you're a member of a professional organization or a member of a club, the dynamic you're most aware of is the “insider” and “outsider” notion.

Many memberships are exclusive. Some memberships have tremendous benefits. Just being a member gets you access to other members—which may be the thing that is most valued.

What is a subscription?

A subscription is a revenue agreement. It's a financial concept.

It says nothing of the benefits of belonging, but it's rare that a person would pay regularly without benefit. The core dynamic with subscriptions is financial in nature. The subscription you sign up for articulates whether you're paying monthly, quarterly or yearly and how renewals happen.

Some subscriptions allow you to pay a certain amount (whether monthly or yearly) to get access to discounts. Whether we're talking about the Amazon Prime or Costco memberships, the yearly fee is the subscription.

Can you have membership without subscription?

Of course you can. I have membership relationships with Avis, United, and Starwood. None of them charge me anything for being a member, and in fact, they give me benefits when I demonstrate loyalty to them. Each gives me a card (though I rarely have them with me) that highlights my membership.

Can you have subscription without membership?

Absolutely. Amazon Prime is one of those subscriptions that for the longest time was just about shipping. I paid a yearly fee for discounted shipping fees. I had no idea who other Prime members were and I wasn't really a “member” of anything.

Over the years Amazon has worked to add more and more to their subscription and at some point, it may feel more like a membership, but to me, the value is the yearly fee that removes all my shipping fees (because I get packages here a lot).

The power comes when you combine the two

My friend Jorge (that's us above) owns Stogies World Class Cigars, which has maybe the best VIP membership lounge in the country. Membership is neither cheap nor easy to get. The waiting list is long. The membership committee is careful. The process is not quick.

The membership program gives cigar lovers 24-hour access to their own lockers, a huge private lounge, and tons of large-screen televisions in a non-smoky environment.

The members don't think or talk about the subscription fee they pay yearly (even though it's not cheap) because the members feel like members. Not just subscribers. They connect. They travel together. They're friends.

People have no trouble paying subscription fees when they feel like they belong to something valuable.

When you connect a relational concept to a financial construct, you can marry memberships and subscriptions for the win!

This is true in the physical world and it applies online as well—which is why I challenge the folks I talk to about membership and subscription sites to make sure they understand the difference and apply the lessons of each.

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Update-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet to replace all members of distribution groups and mail-enabled security groups. To add or remove existing group members, use the Add-DistributionGroupMember and Remove-DistributionGroupMember cmdlets.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

An Update To Membership Limits Fees

Example 1

This example replaces the existing members of the distribution group name Research Reports with new members.

Parameters

The BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck switch specifies whether to allow a user who isn't an owner of the group to modify or delete the group. If you aren't defined in the ManagedBy property of the group, you need to use this switch in commands that modify or delete the group. To use this switch, your account requires specific permissions based on the group type:

• Distribution groups or mail-enabled security groups: You need to be a member of the Organization Management role group or have the Security Group Creation and Membership role assigned.
• Role groups: You need to be a member of the Organization Management role group or have the Role Management role assigned.

You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

• Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
• Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The Identity parameter specifies the distribution group or mail-enabled security group that you want to modify. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the group. For example:

• Name
• Alias
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Canonical DN
• Email address
• GUID

An Update To Membership Limits 2020

The Members parameter specifies the recipients (mail-enabled objects) that will replace the current group members. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the recipient. For example:

• Name
• Alias
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Canonical DN
• Email address
• GUID

You can enter multiple values separated by commas. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: 'Value1','Value2',...'ValueN'.

Although it isn't required, it's a good idea to add only security principals (for example, mailboxes and mail users with user accounts or other mail-enabled security groups) to mail-enabled security groups. If you assign permissions to a mail-enabled security group, any members that aren't security principals (for example, mail contacts or distribution groups) won't have the permissions assigned.

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
