Request for managed sub accounts

[curtcox]

This feature request has multiple relatively independent uses with some overlap.

The Problem:

As a business, I would like for my employees to have val town accounts that they only have access to when I want. The most obvious case where someone would lose access is when they are no longer an employee.

As an independent developer, I would like to give AI agents like Devin, Open Devin, Devica, SWE-Agent, etc... val town accounts that I could isolate, monitor, suspend, and reinstate if needed. Actually, increased ability to do this with my own account would be welcome.

As either an independent developer or a business, I would like to create val town accounts for specific purposes.

Thanks,
Curt

Thanks for this request! I think it's a really good one. We definitely plan to move in this direction eventually, but I don't know how soon. I'll update this ticket as our thinking on it develops...

Ok I might have a solution in the meantime:

1. Any val has a valtown.email inbox
2. You can redirect emails sent to those inbox to your main inbox
3. You can create new account using those valtown.email inbox

So with a single inbox, you can have an infinite number of accounts. I use this technique for my own bot accounts (ex: https://val.town/u/sqlite)
