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.
