    Hi! So you want to create a cPanel user for a cPanel account from the terminal? Or do you want to give SSH/terminal access to a specific cPanel user?

    I am not quite sure, I need to create an access to one of my Cpanel account, with SSH access.

    To Create a cPanel user with SSH/Terminal access, Go to create account and select Shell Access in Creation. If account is already created, search WHM for "Manage Shell Access" and enable Jailed SSH or Normal SSH as per requirement.

    What @ankeshanand was hinting at, is that there isn't a way to create sub-users with SSH access, as only the main cPanel account user is an actual Linux-system user on the machine. If they need SSH access, you'll need to give them the cPanel username and password for the account.
