In your portal, you can elect to have certain individuals have access to some products in their own account. This can be used for your employees who manage your account or web developers when they only need access to your hosting. Keep in mind, cPanel can be access directly, so you can also just give the web developer the cPanel log in details or FTP details for Cloud Hosting. Here’s a example of the delegate function in action: Sebastian purchases a cPanel for two years.
Sebastian adds WebsiteDeveloper Dan as a delegate to redesign his website.
The delegate tool gives WebsiteDeveloper Dan access to the web hosting but not full access to his entire online platform.

​
What can a delegate do?

Any client can invite one or more delegates to access the client-side of a product with your Upmind store. These delegates can:
  • view contract product registration, renewal dates, and status
  • undertake provisioning actions (e.g. log in to a hosting account, update domain nameservers)
  • create support tickets in relation to the contract product
  • view tickets others have created in relation to the contract product, from the point that they were added as a delegate

​
What can’t they do?

  • Manage billing for products
  • Renew or pay invoices from inside the Hosting Panel
  • Cancel, upgrade, or modify products
  • Add or remove delegates
  • Edit DNS in the DNS tab for domain-only products
Note: the delegate function does not work with one-off purchases, like Change of Registrant.
