User Manager is a tool in cPanel that lets you create and manage subaccounts. These subaccounts can be given access to specific services like email, FTP, and Web Disk. Each subaccount has its own login and password, so you don’t have to share your main cPanel login.

Find the user, click Delete, and confirm. This will remove the user and any data linked to that account, like emails. Be sure to back up anything important first.
How Subaccounts Log In
- Email: To access their email, users should go to
https://example.com:2096, whereexample.comis your domain name or server IP address. Then, they can log in using the subaccount’s username and password.
- Web Disk: Users can connect through their computer’s file manager or compatible software.
Note :
Subaccounts do not have access to the main cPanel dashboard. They only see the services you allowed.
By using User Manager, you can easily give limited access to others while keeping your main account safe and secure.
