User Manager in cPanel

We get questions occasionally from Rockaway Hosting users that are interested in adding a sub-user to their cPanel account. Multi-user cPanel access would be awesome, but unfortunately, that’s something that we don’t have yet. (Edit: They are actively working on it however and have a feature request where they're issuing updates.)

While the User Manager isn’t exactly multi-user cPanel access, it lays the foundation for it. And as a bonus: it’s also a nice way to easily create a user with access to multiple items at once.

You have two ways of getting to your User Manager within cPanel:

On your left-hand sidebar (quickest option & photo at the top) click the icon of three people or scroll to the bottom of your cPanel and click 'User Manager' in 'Preferences.'

You'll be redirected to this page:

 

Note the settings wheels next to the search bar that allows you to refine your search, as well as the “Add User” button to the left.

Here you have access to an array of options from a single screen. On top of quickly creating and managing user accounts, you can now also create and maintain email, FTP, and Web Disk accounts. 

The User Manager also allows you to link separate user accounts (email, FTP, Web Disks) that share the same username, so users can make use of the new Unified login system. Basically, this just means that End users now have to remember one set of credentials as opposed to different sets for every account.

 

And my personal favorite– you can see which users have access to what with a quick glance to the right-hand side of the page.
