How to Provide Server Access in Cloudways Hosting

Only account owners have the mandate to provide server access (add or delete team members) in Cloudways Hosting. With that said, the following steps will help you provide server access in Cloudways Hosting:

Configure the access level for the team member depending on their operation preferences. You can configure server and application management, support, and billing areas. The level of the team member you will add depends on the collaborator’s operational choice.

Types of Access Levels

1. Server and Application Management – This allows the team member to access the server and the application areas. The team member can scale at any time without notifying the account owner. They don’t need to seek permission to log in. It also offers a separate dashboard for server and application monitoring.

2. Support Access – This level of access allows the team member entrance to the support area. The team member can generate and answer tickets on behalf of the account owner.

3. Billing Access. Here the team member has access to billing details. They can set pay, view, and download invoices. Team members with Billing Access also get invoice notifications and can update billing details.

Step 4 – Add Member

After you are done, click on Add Member to complete the action. Cloudways Hosting will automatically add the member and an email with an activation link will be sent to them. They should use the link to create an access password.
