User access control

[ziceva]

One of our clients asked us if we ca limit acces to his cPanel interface from his home IP only ... searched for it, and found no way of obtaining this ... so I thought it would be a usefull feature ... specialy if we think about the root WHM account and root password for cPanel ...
Let me give some examples of the functionality I am refering to :

- user X can only access cPanel from IP Y (of his own choice ... other users can still access it from anywhere) (this is actually what our client asked us)
- root can only login into WHM from subnet Z (and resellers can still access WHM from anywhere) (this is what we would like ... even nicer would be if root password could be used in cPanel form the same subnets only)

Actually, this functionality is part of the new Security Policy functionality being introduced in version 11.25.1. Feel welcome to attend tomorrow's webinar to learn more: Webinars - cPanel Inc.
