• LGfL USOlite accounts may be provisioned for certain individual services, such as LGfL LondonMail. Where these have been provisioned, the account is restricted for use only with those designated services
• In the event of non USO account holders subscribing to multiple services that are supplied complete with a USOlite account, then the user may be able to use the same credentials for each service. USOlite accounts cannot access LGfL Shibboleth services such as Premium Content
• Should a user’s account be upgraded from USOlite to a full USO account as part of a school or LA USO purchase, the user will be able to retain their ‘-lite’ on line identity, with its functionality simply being upgraded automatically as part of the process
• USOlite accounts cannot be upgraded individually
