About the service provider control panel
The service provider control panel is the graphical user interface service providers use to manage resellers, sites, services, administrators, and the Ensim Pro server. resources, services, resellers, organizations, and administrators. The control panel is designed to be accessed with the Internet Explorer (IE) browser, version 6.0 or later. Using earlier versions of IE or other browsers to access the control panel is not recommended.
The service provider control panel is the same as the reseller control panel, except that service providers can add platform and hosting servers to the system, whereas resellers cannot. Also, service providers can manage services at the system level whereas resellers manage only those services they purchase from their service provider.
Through the service provider control panel, you can:
Get reports on actions, server status, and usage.
Each Ensim Pro server has its own service provider control panel. If you own more than one Ensim Pro server, you log in to a separate control panel to manage each server.
Using the service provider control panel, you can:
Manage DNS records
Manage the Web Hosting service
For more information about managing services, see the service-specific Help.
There are three types of administrative accounts for the service provider control panel:
When you set up Ensim Unify, one administrator account, a systems-level account, is created. Using this account, you can log in to the service provider control panel and create additional administrative accounts which other administrators can use to access the service provider control panel. This makes it possible to track administrators' actions and ensure that they have access to only the tasks they need to perform.
You manage your own resellers, but you do not manage the resellers created by your resellers. The only resellers that appear on the reseller list in the service provider control panel are the resellers you create. However, you can log in to a reseller's control panel automatically to view resellers, organizations, and users created by resellers and organizations below you.
All of the tasks accessible through the control panel can be performed through the Ensim Unify API. The API (application programming interface) enables you to integrate Ensim Unify with your other business systems. For details, see the latest API guide.
