The Web Portal includes a server account sharing feature, which provides users with the ability to share server access with another users' Web Portal account for team collaboration. This article outlines the steps required to share a server account, and access a shared server account via the Web Portal.


Note:

  • You will only be able to share a server once to one other account user. If you wish to share the server again you will need to remove the user that it is currently shared with. 

  • Sharing provides the user with full portal access for a specific server account.

  • Sharing will not provide your password to the other user, and you should securely share your login credentials on your own. 
  • If you experience any issues with sharing your account or accessing a shared account, please contact our Support staff.
