User permissions

User logins have restricted access

By default, user names do not have access to log in to AMS Control Panel. You must explicitly grant access for users with the "Set permissions" task.

You can set different permissions on a per-user basis. In addition, users will only ever have access to domain names, e-mail accounts, e-mail addresses, and other resources which belong to them. Users can never view services or change settings for other users, nor can they order services or access your privileged account information, such as billing. Read Logging in for more information.

Setting user login permissions

To use this task, log in as owner, and click the "Set permissions" link at left. Select a user, then check the permissions you want the user to have. Leave the permissions you don't want the user to have unchecked. Click "Save" to make your changes.
