Granting cPanel access to others

spyce · November 27th, 2005, 3:21 PM

I have a subdomain on my site, and the owner would like to be able to access cPanel. Other than giving out my username and password, is there any way I could grant them access to it? Maybe create an account in their name or something?

I was looking around in WHM just now and there is an option to 'add an account' but it would only let me do it for domain names. (not four-nineteen.org/fantasticdreams like i'm attempting).

any help is much appreciated

You can create an account using a subdomain in WHM. This will give your client cPanel access at subdomainaddress/cpanel.

Create and account using a subdomain?
How would I go about doing that?
I'm not too familiar with WHM so pardon my stupidity.

You would use fantasticdreams.four-nineteen.org as the domain.

I tried. I got this error:

"Sorry, a DNS entry for fantasticdreams.four-nineteen.org already exists, please delete it first (from all servers in the dns cluster)"

If you have the subdomain set up through cPanel, you will have to delete that first.
