Manage Team lets you create separate user accounts under your cPanel account. Each team user gets their own login and can only access the features you allow. This is a better approach than sharing your cPanel password with developers, designers, or anyone else who needs to work on your hosting. You can find Manage Team at Preferences > Manage Team in cPanel.

​
Roles

Roles control which parts of cPanel a team user can access. You can assign multiple roles to a single user, and you can have up to seven team users with roles at a time. Team users without any role can still log in and access any services you assign, but they won’t see administrative interfaces.
RoleWhat it grants
AdministratorFull access to all cPanel interfaces except Manage Team itself. Includes everything the other three roles provide.
DatabaseDatabase tools including phpMyAdmin, Manage My Databases, Database Wizard, Remote Database Access, backups, and PHP configuration.
EmailEmail administration tools including email accounts, routing, mailing lists, and Zone Editor. Does not include Global Email Filters or Email Filters.
WebWebsite tools including WP Toolkit, redirects, bandwidth and stats, backups, and PHP configuration.
All roles also include access to Password & Security, Change Language, and Contact Information.
Suspended team users still count towards the seven-user role limit. If you need to free up a slot, delete the user instead of suspending them.

​
Services

Services give a team user access to email, file transfer, or Web Disk independently of any role. You can assign services to any team user, including those without roles.
ServiceWhat it provides
EmailAn email account under your domain. You set the mailbox quota when enabling the service.
FTPFTP access to upload and download files. You can set a quota and restrict the user to a specific home directory.
Web DiskFile management through a drag-and-drop interface on the user’s computer or mobile device. You can set Read-Write or Read-Only permissions.

​
The team list

The main Manage Team screen shows a table of all your team users. Each row displays the username, assigned roles, last login date, and available services. Click a username to expand it and see more details, including the account creation date, notes, and any expiration or suspension information.

​
Suspend a team user

Suspending a user blocks them from logging in without removing their account.
1

Open Manage Team

Log in to cPanel through your client area or at yourdomain.com/cpanel. Go to Preferences and click Manage Team.
2

Suspend the user

Find the user in the list and click Suspend in the Actions column. You can optionally enter a reason for the suspension.
To restore access, click Unsuspend in the same column.
You cannot change the password for a suspended team user. Unsuspend them first if you need to reset their password.

​
Delete a team user

Deleting a team user permanently removes them from your account. This frees up a role slot if the user had roles assigned.
1

Open Manage Team

In cPanel, go to Preferences > Manage Team.
2

Delete the user

Find the user in the list and click Delete in the Actions column. Confirm the deletion in the popup that appears.
Deleting a team user cannot be undone. Their associated MySQL user account is also removed.

​
Audit log

The audit log tracks actions that team users perform through the cPanel API. You can use it to see who made changes and when. To view the audit log, click View Audit Log on the Manage Team page. The log shows:
ColumnDescription
TimestampDate and time of the action.
Called ByThe team user or account owner who performed the action.
API VersionThe cPanel API version used.
CallThe specific API call that was made.
OriginWhether the call came from the cPanel interface or the command line.
Use the search box at the top to filter entries by username, API call, or other keywords.
The audit log only records actions that go through the cPanel API. If you don’t see any entries, contact SpeedyPage support to confirm that API logging is enabled on your server.
Review the audit log regularly if multiple people have access to your hosting. For more tips on keeping your account secure, see Hosting security best practices.
