WebHost Manager User Manual 

Giving an account reseller privileges 

Overview 

To "create" a reseller, you must first create the reseller as a basic account using 

the 

Account Functions Menu

. After you have created the account using the 

Account 

Functions Menu

, you can use the 

Reseller Center

 to add reseller privileges to this 

account. 

A reseller account will have the ability to create other accounts. These accounts 

created by the reseller will be owned by the reseller and the reseller will be able 

to modify these accounts. 

It is important to make sure that your resellers have only the amount of access 

that they need, and only the ability to create the types of accounts they need. 

Reseller access is one step away from root access and should be treated with 

care.
