Resellers able to change their own package

Hello

In order to prevent a reseller from changing the package for it's own account, you need to modify the account so it's owned by "root". You can do this using the following option:

"WHM >> Account Functions >> Modify an Account"

Is there a specific reason you do not want a reseller modifying it's own package? The limits imposed using "WHM >> Resellers >> Edit reseller privileges & nameservers" would still be enforced.

Thank you.

 

You can use the following option in Web Host Manager to control that:

"WHM >> Resellers >> Edit reseller privileges & nameservers"

This is documented at:

Edit Privileges/Nameservers

Thank you.

 

The ACLs granted to a reseller are applicable to any account the reseller owns. If the reseller owns his own account, then he can make the same modifications to his account. To prevent this you need to make the reseller's account be owned by root, as Michael posted earlier.

 

It's better to avoid references such as "container" and "virtual drive" because those relate to virtual private servers. A reseller is not the same thing as a VPS.

However, let's say the reseller owns it's own account. If you limit accounts that the reseller user can create by resource usage, then the reseller or any of the accounts created under it will not be able to exceed those limits. If you allow "overselling", then the reseller can assign packages to the accounts that exceed the resources allocated, however the users will not actually be able to exceed those limits.

Overselling means that the reseller will be limited by the resources they have actually used instead of the resources they have been allocated.

Thank you.
