How to: Create and Manage Reseller Accounts
===========================================

NodeWorx Reseller accounts can be used to allow customers the ability to create their own SiteWorx accounts. 

While Resellers have access to NodeWorx, they do not see any features that are reserved for the Server 
Administrator. For example, they cannot alter Apache service configurations or give themselves shell access.
