About the reseller control panel

The reseller control panel is the graphical user interface resellers use to manage the resources and services they purchase and the resellers and organizations sites they add. The reseller control panel is the same as the service provider control panel except that resellers do not have the ability to add hosting or platform servers to the system, manage services at the system level, or manage scopes and IP addresses.

This makes it possible for resellers to track administrators' actions and ensure that they have access to only the tasks they need to perform.

Resellers who add resellers of their own can use the auto-login feature to log in automatically to the control panels of resellers, organizations, and users added below them.
