# Add sub-users

{% hint style="info" %}
A **sub-user** gives full or limited access to your Oxygenserv server. Use it to share access without giving your main account.
{% endhint %}

### Objective

Create a sub-user. Set their permissions. Edit or remove their access.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not share your main account. Only give the rights the sub-user needs.
{% endhint %}

### Step-by-step guide

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Create a new user**

On the dashboard, open the **Sub-users**, then click **Create a new user** :

<figure><img src="/files/6f27f2456a6a2ca455c88ce1a84aad9741eee659" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Provide the email address**

Enter the**email** of the user. Use an address the person controls.

<figure><img src="/files/42e7650e8943232ab08a920cb254065b5992489b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose permissions (access rights)**

Enable only the accesses that are useful. Common examples:

* **Console** : run server commands
* **Files / FTP** : file transfer and editing
* **Backups** : start, restore, download
* **Database** : create and manage databases
* **Scheduled tasks** : schedule restarts and backups

{% hint style="info" %}
Start “minimal”. You can add rights later.

Good practice:

* 1 sub-user per person.
* Remove access as soon as it is no longer necessary.
  {% endhint %}
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Confirm creation**

Check the information. Click **Create**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Edit or delete a sub-user**

Go back to **Sub-users**. Click the icon at the top right to **modify the permissions**, or **delete** the access.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common issues

* **The sub-user does not have access** : check their permissions.
* **FTP access impossible** : test with the credentials shown on the dashboard.

### FAQ

#### Can a sub-user manage my account and billing?

No, it is only for server access.

#### I want to secure my main account. What should I do?

Change your password regularly: [Change my account password](/en/dashboard/changer-le-mot-de-passe-de-mon-compte.md).
