Account Privileges

From DreamHost

Account Privileges has been created to allow you to give another person or group access to your Web Panel so they can edit settings.

You can choose which services you would like to provide access to. For example if you have 4 Websites in your account and you want someone else to be able to make changes to one of them but you don't want them to see your other 3 domains. All you have to do is select which domain, emails, and databases you want to provide access to.

To Setup Account Privileges for some one all you have to do is click on the Account Privileges link under your Users section as pictured below:

You will just need to enter the email address and name of somebody you want to give privileges to; as well as what they can see on your account when they log in to the panel. You will get to choose which Users, Domains, Databases, Groups, Billing, etc. The email address which was entered for the user will receive an email informing them that they have been granted these privileges along with the password, the password won't be revealed to you when assigning the privileges.

After adding privileges, you'll see a full listing of what you've allowed this person to access on your account. It'll look something like this:

In the picture below you will see the difference from what you can see in your account and what the Privileged user account you just setup can see when they login. They will only see the domains you allowed them to see and also if you notice the Billing button is grayed out so they can't click on it. (these are meant to show you that the Privileged user sees less domains than the owner so don't mind the low detail of the images)
