cPanel’s User Manager allows you to create cPanel user account and define exactly what each user can access. This ensures that users only receive permissions relevant to their role, which helps protect sensitive data and maintain system integrity.
When managing a website or hosting environment, it is often necessary to provide access to multiple users, such as developers, designers, or administrators. However, sharing your primary login credentials is not recommended because of security risks.
Hosted.com® provides this functionality as part of its hosting environment, making it easy to manage user access securely and efficiently.
