CHAPTER 3. HOW DO I USE HOSTING CONTROLLER?

3.21

Importing users

Hosting Controller enables you to import existing non Hosting Controller users into your system. Hosting Con 

troller gets the list of users from the operating system, and you can state whether they will be created as a

Reseller or WebAdmin account, what Reseller account the user will appear under, and what hosting plan the user

will use.

Note:

Hosting Controller creates all its users in the operating system of your web server and these users are

authenticated from the operating system, not the Hosting Controller database. A list of these users is available

here: Start    Settings    Administrative Tools    Computer Management    Local Users and Groups

   Users.

To import a user into Hosting Controller:

1. Click on the Import Users link in the Import menu.

2. Choose the required user from the NonHC Member drop down list and select the role for that user from

the Reseller or Web Admin radio buttones.

3. Choose a Reseller for this WebAdmin account from the Reseller Members drop down list, if required.

4. Choose a hosting plan for the new user from the Hosting Plan for WebAdmin drop down list, if required.

5. Enter the user's email address in the Email Address field. This email address will be used for retrieving

a forgotten password, so make sure it is a valid email.

6. Click on the

button.
