This guide is for Staff Advisers and Student WebMaster, intended to demonstrate how to access cPanel Account Manager, create, update, or delete accounts.

'''DISCLAIMERS ON EMAIL:'''

1. The email system is generally secure, it uses basic encryption to verify logins and send mail. It does NOT send encrypted emails. '''DO NOT EMAIL VERY SENSITIVE INFORMATION SUCH AS CREDIT CARD NUMBERS.'''

2. The emails are stored on our server and are visible to top-level admins, '''DO NOT USE THIS EMAIL FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN SSDM/THON RELATED WORK.'''

3. All emails are backed up to a remote server (as with the rest of the website data) on a regular basis. If emails are accidentally deleted they can be recovered. Contact the SETV office for more info

=== Accessing cPanel ===
cPanel is the Web-based user interface for the backend that controls the whole ssdmftk website. You can view files, accounts, DNS settings, etc. '''Generally, there will be no need to modify ANY of these advanced settings, so steer clear of them as it could have unintended consequences.'''

# Access the cPanel from https://cpanel.ssdmftk.org
# The username is '''ssdmftk'''; ask the SETV office for the current password
# Once signed in, click the UserManagement icon in the upper left corner

=== User Manager ===
This is a simple manager to control the accounts for Email and Cloud Access.

Every account created in this list automatically has access to the Cougar Cloud; e-mail is only available when enabled.

==== Create NEW User ====
Once in the User Management Screen:
# Click '''Add User'''
# Under Basic Information fill out the relevant details; leave the '''''domain''''' at '''ssdmftk.org;''' set the '''''alternate''''' '''''email''''' to the committee member's '''ssdstudent.org email''',
# Security Info - Set the user's password - Set a password for the committee members, do not use the same password for all emails, and make sure they have 8 characters with upper/lower case.
# Under "Services" Enable Email and set quota to 250 MB.
# Click CREATE
