Can the server admin edit cpanel user's cron jobs directly from ssh, or is it best to only manage through cpanel user interface?

  Yes, like this, as root: crontab -u USERNAME -e
  to view it: crontab -u USERNAME -l

  Thanks @quietFinn The interface will make sure your cron settings are valid where as the command line doesn't perform any validation, but there's nothing wrong with editing those directly over SSH.
