Sign in as and suspension
Sign in as
To help the user of an account you can see the panel exactly as they see it:
- the administrator can sign in to any other account;
- a reseller only to their own accounts.
Press the Sign in as button next to the account. At the top a green bar appears, “You are viewing the panel as …”, with the Back to your account button.
While you are inside another account you have exactly its permissions, no more and no less: for example an administrator signed in as a user does not see the server pages until they go back to their account. You cannot change the password of the account you signed in to (for that use “Send new password link”). In the activity log every operation shows who really did it and on whose behalf (“admin, as studiorossi”).
Suspending an account
From the pause button, or from ⋯ → Suspend, you can suspend an account giving an optional reason. A suspended account:
- cannot sign in to the panel (open sessions are closed);
- has its sites showing the “Site suspended” page; HTTPS certificate renewals continue;
- receives a notice email, if it has an address.
Files, databases and backups stay intact: with Reactivate everything goes back as before. If the administrator suspended a reseller's account, only the administrator can reactivate it.
Suspending a reseller also blocks access for all their accounts and pauses their sites; reactivating it brings them back online (except the accounts suspended individually).
Scheduled tasks (cron) and SFTP access of suspended sites are not stopped.
