Subuser Best Practices
Principle of Least Privilege
Only grant permissions that are absolutely needed:
- Helpers: Console + power only
- Builders: File access only
- Full admins: All permissions
Regular Audits
- Review subuser list periodically
- Remove inactive users
- Update permissions as roles change
Trust Carefully
- Only add people you trust
- Console commands can damage servers
- File access means access to all data
Troubleshooting
Subuser Can’t Log In
- Verify email address is correct
- Check spam folder for invite
- Resend invitation if needed
Permission Issues
- Review granted permissions
- Some actions require multiple permissions
- Test with the subuser account
Can’t Add Subuser
- Verify email format is correct
- Check if user already has access
- Contact support if issues persist
