User levels

Hierarchy

The higher an account is in the hierarchy, the more rights it has and the more ability it has to control other accounts. The super user is the account with the highest level of rights and permissions.

Superuser

The first authorization to the panel is performed under the root superuser from the server. The panel can have only one root user and an unlimited number of administrators with superuser rights.

A superuser controls:

the server;
all functions in the panel;
administrators, resellers and users;

Typically root is only used for installation and initial configuration of ispmanager. For security reasons, we recommend that further administration be performed under an administrator account with superuser rights.

Administrator

An administrator can be created by an account with superuser rights. The number of administrators in the panel is not limited.

An administrator can manage:

all functions in the panel, except for the configuration of new software and DBMS;
resellers and users.

To extend the rights of administrator account, grant the administrator superuser rights.

Administrator is typically used to create new accounts, customize software flexibly, or monitor services.

Reseller

Please note that only ispmanager host allows to work with resellers.

A reseller can be created by an account with superuser rights or by an administrator. The number of resellers in the panel is not limited.

A reseller can manage:

some function settings;
users of this reseller.

Reseller is intended for creating new reseller users and basic configuration of created accounts.

User

A user can be created by a superuser, an administrator, or a reseller. The number of users in the panel is not limited.

A user can manage:

its sites;
its mail;
settings of its sites and mail (from the available list).

The user is intended for work with sites, domains and mail.
