Description: This article explains how to create and manage user accounts in SiteWorx, including setting up permissions and access controls.

SiteWorx primarily focuses on managing domain-level users (SiteWorx accounts) rather than system-level user accounts. The user accounts you create within SiteWorx are specifically for granting access to the SiteWorx control panel for a particular domain. Here's how you create and manage these users:

1. Accessing User Management:

• Log in to NodeWorx:
• User management is primarily done through NodeWorx, the server-level control panel. You will need NodeWorx access.
• Navigate to SiteWorx Accounts:
• Within NodeWorx, find the section related to "SiteWorx Accounts" or "Accounts."

2. Creating a SiteWorx Account:

• Add a New Account:
• Click the "Add SiteWorx Account" or similar button.
• Enter Account Details:
• Domain: Select the domain for which you are creating the account.
• Username: Choose a username for the account.
• Password: Create a strong password.
• Email Address: Enter a valid email address for the user.
• Permissions/Limits:
• This is where you define the account's permissions and access controls.
• You can typically set limits on resources such as disk space, bandwidth, and email accounts.
• You can also select which features of SiteWorx the user can access.
• Complete Creation:
• Save the account settings.

3. Managing SiteWorx Accounts:

• Editing Accounts:
• In the SiteWorx Accounts list, you can edit existing accounts.
• You can change the password, email address, resource limits, and permissions.
• Deleting Accounts:
• You can delete SiteWorx accounts that are no longer needed.
• Be aware that deleting an account will remove the user's access to the SiteWorx control panel for the associated domain.
• Password Resets:
• NodeWorx allows administrators to reset the passwords of SiteWorx accounts.
• Account Suspension:
• NodeWorx allows the suspension of SiteWorx accounts. This prevents the account from logging in.

4. Permissions and Access Controls:

• Resource Limits:
• You can control the amount of disk space, bandwidth, and other resources that a SiteWorx account can use.
• Feature Access:
• You can restrict access to specific SiteWorx features, such as:
• Email management
• Database management
• File manager
• DNS management
• Package Based Permissions:
• Interworx allows for the creation of packages. These packages can contain predefined resource limits, and feature access. This makes it easy to apply the same settings to many accounts.

Important Considerations:

• NodeWorx vs. SiteWorx:
• Remember that NodeWorx is for server-level administration, while SiteWorx is for domain-level management.
• Security:
• Use strong passwords for all SiteWorx accounts.
• Grant only the necessary permissions to each account.
• Regularly review and update account permissions.
• User Roles:
• Plan your user roles and permissions carefully to ensure that users have the appropriate level of access.

By following these steps, you can effectively create and manage user accounts within SiteWorx.
