They can then fully download, upload, and modify files on your server. You can even limit the account to a specific folder if necessary. Any FTP logs would identify the username of the person connecting and manipulating files in case you want to track individual accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/create-delete-account\/\">How to Create an FTP Account in cPanel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/support\/website\/ftp\/getting-started-guide\/\">FTP Getting Started Guide<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"database\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Database Logins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing database access takes a couple of steps but cPanel has tools to help you. First, you must create the username and password, then assign the user to a database. If the user needs to connect remotely you should add their IP address to the server&#8217;s firewall. Once their IP address has been added they can connect and manage databases using a third-party client such as <a href=\"\/support\/server\/databases\/connect-database-navicat\/\">Navicat for MySQL<\/a>, <a href=\"\/support\/website\/connect-database-remotely-mysql-workbench\/\">MySQL Workbench<\/a>, or <a href=\"\/support\/server\/databases\/connecting-heidi-sql-database\/\">Heidi SQL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/create-database-user\/\">Creating a database user and assigning to a database<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/setting-up-a-remote-mysql-connection-in-cpanel\/#add-ip\">Adding an IP address to allow a remote MySQL connection<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"email\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Email Logins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Shared Hosting accounts, you can create many email addresses. These custom addresses add a level of professionalism to your email transmissions since they are from the same domain name of your website. Use a client such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or Webmail to send or receive email. You can also use an email account for transmitting emails from a website using SMTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/how-to-create-an-email-account\/\">How to Create Email Accounts in cPanel<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"cms\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create CMS Logins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to provide access to a CMS such as WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal this can be accomplished in the Admin Dashboard of the site.
