Feature Manager

For WHM version 11.38

(Home >> Packages >> Feature Manager)

This interface allows you to edit feature lists that you can assign to accounts.

These feature lists provide or prevent access to specific cPanel features.

The predefined feature lists

There are 2 predefined feature lists in the system. They are the default and disabled feature lists.

• If you disable a feature in the default feature list, it will be disabled by default for all of the users on your server. You can override this by creating and assigning a new list to your users.
• If you disable a feature in the disabled feature list, it will be disabled for all of the users of the system with no option to override.

Remember: Unchecking a feature in the disabled feature list will disable the feature for all of the users on the system.

Creating a feature list

To create a new feature list:

1. Type the name you would like to use for the feature list into the Feature List Name field.
   • Remember: Choose a name that will be easy to remember so that it can be properly assigned.
2. Click Add.
3. Select the features you would like to disallow by unchecking the corresponding checkbox.
4. Click Save.

Remember: Disabled features will not have a checkmark in their corresponding checkboxes.

Editing a feature list

To edit an existing feature list:

1. Use the Edit a Feature List pull-down menu to select the feature list you would like to edit.
2. Click Edit.
3. Select the features you would like to allow or disallow by clicking the corresponding checkbox.
4. Click Save.

Remember: Disabled features will not have a checkmark in their corresponding checkboxes. Unchecking a feature in the disabled feature list will disable the feature for all of the users on the system.

Deleting a feature list

To remove an existing feature list:

1. Use the Delete a Feature List pull-down menu to select the feature list you would like to remove.
2. Click Delete.

Remember: Deleting a feature list will remove it from the server permanently. As there is no way to recover the list, you will have to create it again if you decide you would like to use it in the future.

Adding a feature list to a package

A feature list must be added to a package using WHM’s Edit a Package function, or when creating a package using the Add a Package function. You can then assign the package to an account using the List Accounts feature. (A feature list cannot be added directly to an account.)

Under the Settings heading, you will find the Feature List pull-down menu. To assign the list to the package simply select it from the pull-down menu and save the changes.
