# Adding cPanel Users – Manage Team

The **Manage Team** feature in cPanel lets you create **additional accounts** for other team members, each with customized access — without sharing your main account credentials.

### What is “Manage Team”?

This feature, available in recent versions of cPanel (usually on Root or Reseller accounts), allows you to:

- create **additional users** (colleagues, collaborators)
- control **which areas of cPanel they can access**
- enable or disable their accounts easily at any time

## How to create a new team account in cPanel

### 1. **Access cPanel**

- Log into cPanel at `https://yourdomain.com/cpanel`

### 2. **Find the “Manage Team” feature**

- In the main panel, look under **Preferences** or use the search bar to type `Manage Team`.

## How does a team user log in?

The created user will receive instructions via email (if you provided an address). They can log in to the standard cPanel URL with:

- **Their own username** (user@domain.com);
- **The set or received password**.

The login URL is the same as the main account:
`https://yourdomain.com/cpanel`

## Advantages of using “Manage Team”

- You no longer share the main account credentials;
- You can **revoke access anytime**;
- Ideal for teams, freelancers, or external collaborators;
- You have better control over **activity and security**.

## Conclusion

The **“Manage Team”** feature in cPanel offers you full control and flexibility to collaborate safely with others. Whether you want a colleague to manage emails, a developer to access files, or an SEO specialist to view stats – you can do it simply and risk-free.
