Hi Folks, Has anyone noticed that you're able to login to any cPanel user (on the same server) with the server's root or account owner password? I just noticed today across a few of my cPanel servers that it appears that cPanel follows some form of access tree. |- root |-- Reseller (accessable by root + reseller pw) |--- account (accessable by root+reseller password + account pw) Where root is able to login to any cPanel user using the cPanel account's username, same with the reseller account owner if it owns the account. I can't seem to find this information online anywhere.

  Look in WHM -> Tweak Settings -> System -> Accounts that can access a cPanel user account

  This is by design and as noted by @quietFinn if you'd like to disable that you can make the modifications noted in Tweak Settings.
