Second WHM admin (limited) user
Hello,
I have a DNS administrator that needs access to the dns functions in all the individual cpanel accounts as well as the DNS functions in WHM.
Is there a way to created a limited-scope WHM administrator?... one that basically has access to 'DNS Functions' and 'List Accounts'?
If not, any better alternatives to just giving this person WHM root access?
Thanks,
Donovan

Hello Donovan, You could setup a reseller account for the DNS administrator and then assign ownership of the cPanel accounts to that reseller. Here are some documents to help you get started: Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges - Version 70 Documentation - cPanel Documentation 0 -
privileges available to the reseller, assigning ownership of the cPanel accounts to the reseller will allow the reseller full cPanel access to those accounts. Can you let me know if this

Hello Donovan, The following document is useful if you'd like a general understanding of how reseller accounts work: Guide to Reseller Accounts - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Also, cPanel University is worth checking out if you'd like to improve your overall knowledge of cPanel & WHM: cPanel University | cPanel, Inc. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions in the future. Thanks! 0 -
I know what you want and I can tell it it would be really cool to have this. But this is NOT currently a feature possible with cpanel. I also would NOT recommend trying to code any solution yourself as it would be too much work and would probably break on next cpanel update. I would love to be able to have a second login for whm which has limited access. You could then have an employee or friend help out without giving total control of your entire server over to them. But, this isn't an available feature in cpanel/whm at the moment. You could add it to suggestions page. Hope it helps. By the way, like above, it may be possible to do something remotely similar with reseller. Just create a reseller in WHM and then go to any accounts you want them to control and assign the account to that reseller. In that case, the reseller will have full access to those accounts. But exactly what you wanted isn't possible with cpanel/whm currently. 0 -
Hello @thesrever832, Thank you for the additional feedback. I encourage you to submit it to the following feature request page as well: Reseller or WHM Admin user account without a cPanel account Thanks! 0
