We have created several tools for viewing and modifying existing virtual user accounts on your Virtual Private Server. In addition to using iManager, you can use one of the following SSH or Telnet commands.
vlistuser - to list all virtual user accounts, simply run vlistuser from your server's command prompt
vadduser - You can change a virtual user account's settings using the vadduser command. When prompted for a user to add, simply enter the name of the existing user, and you will be asked if you want to modify the existing user.
vpasswd - Use the vpasswd command from your server's command prompt to change user account passwords. When you are typing the password, be aware that your keystrokes will not be displayed on the screen.
Removing existing virtual user accounts can be done in one of the following ways.
iManager Tools and Wizards allow you to use your own web browser to easily remove user accounts.
