Collaborators let you grant another panel user read or write access to your hosting account. Use this when a developer or team member needs to manage your site but shouldn't have your login credentials or access to your other accounts.
How It Works
A collaborator is a panel user who has been granted access to a specific account. When they log in, they see that account in Hosting Mode alongside their own accounts. They use their own credentials — not yours.
Access is scoped to the specific account. A collaborator cannot see other accounts, server settings, or billing.
Adding a Collaborator
- In Hosting Mode, go to Settings → Collaborators
- Click Add Collaborator
- Enter the collaborator's email address (they must already have a panel account)
- Select a permission level:
- Read-only — can view everything in the account but cannot make changes
- Full access — can manage everything in Hosting Mode for this account
- Click Add
The collaborator will see this account the next time they log in.
Removing a Collaborator
- In Hosting Mode, go to Settings → Collaborators
- Click Remove next to the collaborator you want to revoke
Access is revoked immediately. The collaborator's own account is unaffected.
Collaborators vs Sharing Your Password
Never share your panel password. Sharing a password means:
- The other person can access all your accounts, not just one
- You can't revoke their access without changing your password
- You can't tell from the activity log which actions were theirs vs yours
Collaborators solve all three: scoped access, revocable, and individually auditable in the Activity Log.
Admin Perspective
Admins in Server Mode can manage collaborators for any account. If a client accidentally locked themselves out by removing all access, an admin can restore it.
