Multiple WHM users for all domains

I have read a number of similar threads such as Multiple users in cPanel and Multiple Root users and vpsineu.com/blog/how-to-create-a-newseccond-root-user-loginaccount-in-cpanel/ I am probably being more dense than a very dense thing - and have tried to set this up by following those threads. My scenario is that I have a VPS which is running WHM and cPanel. There are maybe 6 domains on this. I have 2 developers and a couple of managers all of whom should have access to all of these. I started to follow the "have several resellers and give each reseller root access" workround until I tripped up on the "only one domain per account". I then read more docs and found How to Create a WHM Reseller Without An Associated Domain - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation so here are a couple of qs 1. would this allow me to have several users who can "do everything" in WHM and cPanel across all the 6 domains we have? 2. If not, what am I not seeing? All the domains are "mine" (there are various development environments under variousprefixes.domainname1.tld1 and also under variousprefixes.domainname2.tld2 ) and several people responsible for the environments and the host. It seems that WHM can, however, only have one rootuser per domain. If this is the case, do I just share the root credentials with the dev team? If there is a tutorial or guide to this, sorry for trespassing on bandwidth but would appreciate a link to it. Thanks

  Hello :) Yes, this is possible. What reseller privileges are you granting to the resellers? Thank you.

  Hello, the "resellers" are, in this case, our dev team leaders. So they need access to the whole thing. It's an alternate to sharing the root password between us. Can I do this from within WHM or do I need to do the shell thing as suggested by dalem? Sorry for the low level of knowledge but I am new to this. Thanks.

  You have to use both the command line and Web Host Manager as mentioned in the steps at: How to Create a WHM Reseller Without An Associated Domain - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
