Adding cPanel User for sudomain webmaster

I would like to add a user who is a temporary webmaster on one of my subdomains. I would prefer to add this user as SFTP and not FTP user which is presently disabled. He will be using FileZilla for the file uploads and file maintenance. Could someone tell me the process to accomplish this? Many thanks for the help. Marc

  Hey there! This isn't a way to add additional users with sFTP access at this time, as only the main cPanel user has access to shell as that is an actual Linux user.

  Thanks for the reply! I guess the only other option would be to activate FTP and create an account for that particular individual?

  That would definitely work. While a "sub user" system for cPanel has been talked about for some time, it's not something that is available just yet.
