🤔 How to Use our Subuser System 🤔

In this article, we will explain how to use our subuser system, to have your friends or people gain access to certain parts of the server. Never give out your user login details, as it gives them full permissions to do anything with the server as they please. Instead, use the subuser and add them that way.
The subuser will receive 2 emails, one is called "Account Created" and the other is "Added To Server".
He will have to open the "Account Created" and setup his account first, then open the "Added To Server" one.
If the subuser already have an account he will not receive the "Account Created" email, instead he will have to use the password he already has to access the panel.
The subuser can reset the password here in case he forgot it at https://witherpanel.com/account.

➕ Creating a subuser ➕

Go to the server you want to add a subuser for, and go to the "Users" section present at the left-hand side.



Now, we will create a user. So click on the "New User" button, and a window should appear on the website.



We will break-down everything in this window for you.
Make sure you put in the user's email address at the top field.

🔥 Firewall (BANIP) 🔥

Allow the user to manage the server's firewall settings.

⚙️ Control ⚙️

Console - Let's the user send commands to the server console. Note that if you add someone as a subuser with any control permissions, they will be able to view console. Only if you give them the console permission, can they send commands in it.
Start - Let's the user issue the start command at the server. If the server is already online, it will not do anything.
Stop - Let's the user issue the stop command at the server. If the server is already offline, it will not do anything.
Restart - Let's the user issue the restart command at the server. This can allow the subuser to restart the server if it's in a crashed state, but not completely stop the server on their own

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 User 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Create - Let's the user create subusers themselves. They cannot assign permissions they do not have themselves.
Read - Let's the user view other subusers on the server
Update - Let's the user modify other subusers. They will never be able to edit their own account, or assign permissions they do not have themselves.
Delete - Let's the user delete other subusers.

📂 File 📂

Create - Allows a user to create additional files and folders via the Panel or direct upload.
Read - Allows a user to view the contents of a directory, but not view the contents of or download files. If you only grant the "Create" permission, they need the "Read" permission to create files.
Read-Content - Allows a user to view the contents of a given file. This will also allow the user to download files. Grant this permission when you want your subuser to view configuration files or any other contents of a file.
Update - Allows a user to update the contents of an existing file or directory.
Delete - Allows a user to delete files or directories. Make sure that this permission is granted to trusted users, otherwise an untrustworthy subuser could be able to delete all your server files!
Archive - Allows a user to archive the contents of a directory as well as decompress existing archives on the system.
SFTP - Allows a user to connect to SFTP and manage server files using the other assigned file permissions. Please note that if you grant this permission, they will have permission to create, read, read-content, update, delete and archive files as well.

Download - Allows a user to download a backup for the server. Danger - this allows a user to access all files for the server in the backup, which would be the same as read-content, read, and update permissions in the file section
Restore - Allows a user to restore a backup for the server. Danger: this allows the user to delete all of the server files in the process. Make sure that this permission is granted to trusted users, otherwise an untrustworthy subuser could restore your save point back to a long time ago, hampering your progress.

🤔 What does the subuser have to do? 🤔

Your user should get an email with login information to access your server according to the permissions you set! Let's check our email.



We will first go to the Account Created email, and we will choose to setup our account, so we can set a password





Once you've set the password, your subuser account should be ready to go and your subuser can access the server according to the permissions you set.
