Manage Team in cPanel

Using Manage Team

The Manage Team feature in cPanel allows you to create separate user logins for additional users under the same cPanel account. This is useful when trusted team members need access to specific tools or services without sharing the main cPanel login details.

Each team user can sign in with their own credentials and will only have access to the areas and services you assign to them.

Important: Manage Team is designed for technical or administrative use. Some permissions can provide account-level access, so you should only grant access to users you trust.

For detailed information about roles, permissions, services, and security settings, see the official cPanel documentation:
Manage Team – Create a Team User

    Security and Access Considerations

    Before creating team users, make sure access is only provided to people who genuinely require it.

    Depending on the permissions and services enabled, team users may be able to:

    • Access or manage email accounts
    • Modify website files
    • Manage databases
    • Change account or hosting settings

    If you are unsure which permissions to assign, consult your IT administrator or system administrator before granting access.
