To use the Manage Team feature in cPanel

Observant users may have noticed that a new functionality called "Manage Team" has been added to cPanel. This innovative option enables the creation of team user accounts that allow multiple people to access, manage and work on the same cPanel account without having to share their login credentials.

The "Manage Team" function in cPanel allows the account holder to make it easier for developers and administrators to manage their company's websites. Each team member has an individual login and has access to the same cPanel account resources. This allows a clear separation of tasks and creates an overview of all accounts.

One of the main objectives of the new "Manage team" function is to grant different roles specific access to the required functions. For example, if an account owner sets up an email administrator, this team user will be assigned the role of email administrator. This gives them access to the email functionalities in cPanel and ensures that all the necessary tools are available for their tasks. This approach also allows an account holder to hire web designers, web programmers or database administrators. All of these positions have access to the resources necessary for their activities without interfering with the account holder's cPanel login process.
