Logging on as the Site Administrator

Parallels Pro Control Panel automatically logs you into the Site Administrator control panel when you click on a site name. Auto-login is especially useful if the Site Administrator is unable to recall his password and requires you to access the Site Administrator control panel to reset the current password. As a Site Administrator, you can also perform other administrative tasks. While you work as a Site Administrator, your preceding reseller sessions remain active for a duration of 60 minutes. If no activity is noted during this period, the sessions expire. As you perform multiple roles, stacked login ensures that your multiple sessions remain easily accessible and functional.

Stacked login preserves the active state of different login sessions when you perform multiple administrative roles. When you auto-login into a reseller account or site, your preceding login sessions are preserved and not immediately terminated. The session expires after 60 minutes only if no active interaction is noted. Stacked login makes it easy to assume multiple administrative roles by ensuring that prior sessions remain accessible and functional.

As you move from one administrative session to another, Parallels Pro Control Panel displays the session history along with the current administrative role at the top left corner in the section Login Info. When you log out of your current administrative role, you are taken to the Home page of the administrative level that precedes your current login.
