Title: How to create a second account for the Admin Panel
Post by: Kestryll on September 10, 2024, 02:23:53 AM

Hi, I need to make a second account for my CWP Admin Panel that has the same permissions and abilities as the account set up for me by my hosting company on my dedicated server.

I see where I can make a new user panel account but that's more limited than I need.

Thanks!

As far as I know there can only be 1... (Highlander music playing)

As the Admin account uses the root login credentials.

I always make a dedicated sudo (admin) user on every server I administer. That way you can SSH in as that user, then sudo or sudo -s to root for any tasks that need elevated privileges. But then you don't have to PermitRootLogin in your SSH configuration. Unfortunately, you won't be able to login to CWP as that sudoer.
