User Management, add more users to cpanel Print

User Manager

This is a new feature from cpanel.

Add a Subaccount

To add a Subaccount, perform the following steps:

1. Click Add User.
2. Enter the user’s name in the Full Name text box.
3. Enter the username in the Username text box.
4. If you manage more than one domain, select the appropriate domain from the Domain menu.
5. Enter a contact email address for the user.
   Important:

   • You must enter the contact email address to allow Subaccount users to use the Reset Password feature or to allow the user to set their own password.
   • If you do not specify a contact email address, the system will generate a fake email address when a user attempts to reset their password. This action helps protect users’ credentials on an account. This email address appears as a hint in the Contact Email Address text box on the cPanel Login interface.
6. Select the method to use to set the Subaccount password:
   • To send an email to the user to set their own password, select The user will set the account password.
     Note:

     • To use this method, you must enable the Reset Password for Subaccount setting in WHM’s Tweak Settings interface (WHM » Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings). If you cannot access WHM, contact your hosting provider for assistance.
     • When you select this setting, the user must follow the steps in our Subaccount Initial Password Guide documentation in order to set their password.
   • To set the password yourself, select Set the user’s password. Then, enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.
     Note:

     • The system evaluates the password that you enter on a scale of 100 points. 0 indicates a weak password, while 100 indicates a very secure password.
     • Some web hosts require a minimum password strength. A green password Strength meter indicates that the password is equal to or greater than the required password strength.
     • Click Password Generator to generate a strong password. For more information, read our Password & Security documentation.
7. Select the Subaccount’s services. For more information, read the Services section below.
   Note:

   If the Subaccount’s username matches the username of another account, the interface will prompt you to link or dismiss the account.

   • To link the account and Subaccount, click Link.
   • If you do not wish to link the account and Subaccount, click Dismiss.
8. Click Create, or click Create and Add Another User to add another account.
