Specification

Reseller accounts are cPanel account owners that also sell cPanel accounts to other users. A reseller purchases system resources from a hosting provider, and then allocates the resources to the cPanel accounts that they sell. Reseller accounts include additional privileges. The system allows reseller accounts access to a limited version of the WHM interface, which allows them to manage the cPanel accounts that they sell.

• Standard Privileges — This list includes basic reseller functions. For example, the reseller can add and remove accounts.
• Package Privileges — This list includes the reseller’s ability to create and modify their own web hosting packages.
• Global Privileges — This list includes privileges for server administrators, such as access to view and restart system services.
• Super Privileges — This list includes settings such as account and quota modification.
• The following settings allow resellers to create accounts without packages and circumvent resource limits:
  • Account Modification
  • Bandwidth Limiting Modification
  • Quota Modification
  • Root Access — The All Features setting allows the reseller to access a fully functional WHM interface.

Packages allow resellers to assign limits and settings to cPanel accounts. For example, a reseller may want to assign disk quotas or monthly bandwidth restrictions. Hosting providers can create and modify packages for resellers or allow the reseller to do this for themselves.

Resellers can view and assign any package that contains their username. Additionally, hosting providers can enable the viewglobalpackages Access Control List (ACL), which allows resellers to view and assign global packages.
