# Manage Team

> How to use Manage Team in cPanel to create sub-accounts with limited access instead of sharing your main credentials.

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](#services) you assign, but they won't see administrative interfaces.

| Role              | What it grants                                                                                                                                        |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Administrator** | Full access to all cPanel interfaces except Manage Team itself. Includes everything the other three roles provide.                                    |
| **Database**      | Database tools including phpMyAdmin, Manage My Databases, Database Wizard, Remote Database Access, backups, and PHP configuration.                    |
| **Email**         | Email administration tools including email accounts, routing, mailing lists, and Zone Editor. Does not include Global Email Filters or Email Filters. |
| **Web**           | Website 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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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.

| Service      | What it provides                                                                                                                            |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Email**    | An email account under your domain. You set the mailbox quota when enabling the service.                                                    |
| **FTP**      | FTP access to upload and download files. You can set a quota and restrict the user to a specific home directory.                            |
| **Web Disk** | File 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manage Team">
    Log in to cPanel through your [client area](https://my.speedypage.com) or at `yourdomain.com/cpanel`. Go to **Preferences** and click **Manage Team**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To restore access, click **Unsuspend** in the same column.

<Warning>
  You cannot change the password for a suspended team user. Unsuspend them first if you need to reset their password.
</Warning>

## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manage Team">
    In cPanel, go to **Preferences** > **Manage Team**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete the user">
    Find the user in the list and click **Delete** in the **Actions** column. Confirm the deletion in the popup that appears.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deleting a team user cannot be undone. Their associated MySQL user account is also removed.
</Warning>

## 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:

| Column          | Description                                                          |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Timestamp**   | Date and time of the action.                                         |
| **Called By**   | The team user or account owner who performed the action.             |
| **API Version** | The cPanel API version used.                                         |
| **Call**        | The specific API call that was made.                                 |
| **Origin**      | Whether 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.

<Note>
  The audit log only records actions that go through the cPanel API. If you don't see any entries, contact [SpeedyPage support](https://my.speedypage.com/submitticket.php) to confirm that API logging is enabled on your server.
</Note>

<Tip>
  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](/web-hosting/security-best-practices).
