How to control what packages a reseller can use and see

This article covers how to control which packages a reseller can use and see.

While creating a package in WHM at the following location:

Home » Packages » Add a Package

The name of the package will determine if a reseller can use the package. Unusable packages will not be displayed to the reseller.

Package usability is determined as follows:

Type of package	Example	Description	Reseller can use/view
Root	`root_package`	`root`, an underscore, and a package name.	No
User	`reseller_package`	The reseller’s username, an underscore, and a package name.	Yes, if the reseller is the same as the prefix.
Global	`package`	A package name that does not contain any underscores.	Yes, if the hosting provider enables the `viewglobalpackages` ACL for the reseller; otherwise, no.
