How to create users for hosting accounts in HestiaCP?

The procedure to create users is as follows:

  1. Located in the USER box, we will see the list of users created in the lower list.
  2. In this case we are seeing the admin user created by default. On the right it will show the services that are created (mailboxes, databases, websites, etc).
  3. Pressing the Add User button will create the user that will control the hosting account.

We will see the user creation screen with several fields to complete:

  1. Enter the username.
  2. Enter a contact field (it can be different from the email address).
  3. Enter the email address that will receive information about this user and its accounts.
  4. Enter a password following the minimum requirements.
  5. We must choose whether the user will be able to access the control panel of a hosting account or if it will be accessed with the main admin user.
    The other option will send us the email with the data we are creating now.
  6. Configure the language with which this user will see the control panel.
  7. In Role we choose whether the user will have full access, like the admin user, or not. This is similar to giving a user root access.
  8. Choose the hosting plan that this user will have. These plans can be created by following these steps:

  9. This option will allow us to receive, at our configured email address, any password change that is generated.
  10. At the top right we’ll see the button to save the changes.
  11. And we’ll see the Back button to cancel the user creation.

Now that you have a user created you will need to create the Hosting Plan, where you will define the services that will be available.
