Sub-users let you give other people access to your server’s control panel without sharing your account credentials. You control exactly what each sub-user can see and do — from read-only console access for a trusted player, to full file management access for a server admin. If you run a community server with a team of moderators or admins, sub-users are the right way to delegate panel access safely.

What sub-users can do

A sub-user can log in to panel.sculkhosting.com with their own account and see only the server or servers you’ve invited them to. Within that server, they can perform any action you’ve explicitly granted them permission to perform. Common permissions include:

Console access

View the server console and send commands. Can be granted as read-only or with command execution.

File management

Browse, upload, edit, and delete server files — useful for admins who manage configs or plugins.

Backup management

Create backups and restore previous snapshots without needing to contact the account owner.

Full admin access

All permissions enabled — equivalent to the account owner for day-to-day server management.

How to add a sub-user

1

Log in to the panel

Go to panel.sculkhosting.com and sign in with your account credentials.
2

Open your server's Users tab

Select your server from the list, then click the Users tab in the server navigation.
3

Click Invite User

Click the Invite User button to open the invitation form.
4

Enter their email address

Enter the email address associated with the sub-user’s Sculk Hosting account. They will need to have an account already — they can create one for free at my.sculkhosting.com.
5

Select permissions

Check the permissions you want to grant. You can enable or disable individual permissions, or grant full access.
6

Send the invitation

Click Invite to send the invitation. The sub-user will receive an email notification and can access the server immediately after accepting.

Managing and revoking access

You can update a sub-user’s permissions at any time from the Users tab. To remove a sub-user entirely, click the delete icon next to their entry.
Revoking sub-user access takes effect immediately. Remove access as soon as a team member no longer needs it — for example, when someone leaves your staff team.

Responsibility and account security

As the account owner, you are fully responsible for all actions taken by your sub-users. If a sub-user deletes files, triggers a ban, or causes any other problem on your server, that action is treated as having been performed under your account.
Treat sub-user access the same way you’d treat giving someone a physical key to your server. Only invite people you trust, and grant only the permissions they actually need.
For large or active communities, consider creating a dedicated staff sub-user account — a separate Sculk Hosting account used by your admin team — rather than sharing your main account login or granting full permissions to individuals directly. This makes it easier to audit panel activity and revoke access cleanly if staff changes.
