Never share your user login details, as it grants full permissions to manipulate the server. Instead, utilize the subuser feature to grant controlled access.

Subusers will receive two emails: one titled "Account Created" and the other "Added To Server". They should first set up their account using the "Account Created" email, followed by accessing the "Added To Server" email. If the subuser already has an account, they won't receive the "Account Created" email; instead, they should use their existing password to access the panel. Subusers can reset their password here if needed.

➕ Creating a Subuser ➕

  1. Go to the server where you want to add a subuser and navigate to the "Subsers" section on the left-hand side.
