Overview

Note:

If the Manage Team feature does not appear, ask your hosting provider to enable it in WHM’s Feature Manager interface (WHM » Home » Package » Feature Manager).

The Manage Team interface (cPanel » Home » Preferences » Manage Team) allows the team owner to create and manage team users as part of the Manage Team feature.

Team users

The team owner is the cPanel account that owns the team. A team user is a virtual account that operates under the team owner’s account. A team owner can create the following types of team user accounts:

User
 Description
Team user without role A team user without a role can:
  • Log in to cPanel.
  • Update their password.
  • Change the default interface language.
  • Update their contact information.
  • Access services that the team owner assigns.
A team owner can create an unlimited number of team users without roles.
Team user with role A team user with roles can:
  • Log in to cPanel.
  • Update their password.
  • Change the default interface language.
  • Update their contact information.
  • Access services that the team owner assigns.
  • Perform the role’s associated administrative functions.
A team owner can only assign roles to seven team users.

The Manage Team interface displays the number of current team users with roles and the maximum number of team users with roles you can create in the account quota status box:

The default maximum number of team users with roles is seven. Only a root user can adjust this value to a lower number. For more information, read our documentation on WHM’s Edit a Package interface (WHM » Home » Packages » Edit a Package).

Roles

The Roles column displays the roles assigned to the team user. Assigning a team user a role allows the team user to manage various aspects of the cPanel account. You can assign a team member multiple roles. You may only assign roles to a maximum of seven team users.

The following roles are available for team users:

Role Description
Administrator The administrator role includes all privileges of the other team user roles.

Web This role enables a team user to access tools and modify files related to website functionality, such as Sitejet Builder, Wordpress Toolkit, and bandwidth usage.

Services

The Services column displays the services assigned to the team user. Team owners can give team users access to the following services:

Services
 Description
Email This service gives the team user access to email for the cPanel account.
FTP This service gives the team user access to website files for the cPanel account. This service is only available if your hosting provider has enabled it.
Web Disk This service allows the team user to manage and manipulate files on your server in multiple types of interfaces (for example, your computer, mobile device, or certain types of software).
