How to Enable SSH Access to a User in DirectAdmin?

Resellers can enable or disable SSH access from the package options that, in turn, enables SSH access for a single user.

Note

Giving someone SSH access requires caution as there may be security issues involved. It is advisable that you inquire about the client’s requirement for SSH access beforehand. Users can still perform some operations or tasks even in the absence of SSH access.

To Enable SSH Access for a User

1. Log in to your reseller account of DirectAdmin.

2. Go to the Account Manager section and click on List Users.

The list of active user accounts on your DirectAdmin will appear.

3. Click on the username of a user to grant SSH access.

4. Go to the Modify tab and check the SSH Access option.

5. Click the SAVE button to grant the user SSH access to the server.
