Some question about CWP
« on: November 18, 2024, 03:30:45 AM »
Hi,

I'm reaching out with a question about the best way to approach website management.
I'm currently the only person with access and managing it—so, just one user in total.
+- 4-5 domain max without mail and dns lol, ( I have CWP PRO )

Is it necessary to create an additional user and assign them the domain?
Or is the admin account solely for managing the "system," while user accounts are specifically for managing the websites?
Should the admin account only be used to set everything up once and then leave it alone?

The panel seems pretty decent, but the GUI is absolutely HORRIBLE for modern standards...

CWP operates with 3 types of users.

root - is the default admin. It has the highest level of access and can manage all aspects of the system (install/uninstall system software, change system settings, et, create resellers/regular users). root has access to each account on the server. However, there is no option to add/remove domains to root account for security reason.

reseller - this type of users can create/remove extra user accounts, has access to the accounts created by the reseller. It can't manage system settings, install/uninstall server side software or change system settings.

regular users - regular users have lowest level of access. They can manage their own account only (add/remove email accounts, domains, etc).

So you need to create at least one user level account to manage the websites. If all websites belong to you then you are free to create just one account and manage all websites through one account. However, it is better to create separate user level account for each website. If the websites are managed by different users then create extra account for each user.

You assign a domain to a user on set up (all users need 1 main domain). You can then addon domains to that user but only the addon domains show up under Domains > List Domains.

You have to go to User Accounts > List accounts to view the main domains.
