After creating Reseller account in WHM, the most important part is to set Reseller privileges. You should be more cautious while granting access to your reseller accounts because giving too many privileges may allow resellers to gain more access than they supposed to have. You would not like to allow any of your reseller account to have root access.
- Log into your WHM.
- Under Resellers section, select Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges.
- Select the reseller you want to manage from the list and click Submit.
- You're now at the Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges page in WHM. At this point, you can make the desired changes and click Save All Settings at the bottom of the page.
- Following are the ideal options to select while creating Resellet account.
Account Creation Limits
At Account Creation Limits section first 2 options will be set by the reseller plan itself. Under Resource Usage Limits, do not check an option of Overselling Allowed.

Be careful while you grant the access under Super Privileges section. Keep only 3 options checked as follows.

- Bandwidth Limiting Modification (Warning: This will allow circumvention of account package limits if you are not using resource limits)
- Quota Modification (Warning: This will allow circumvention of account package limits if you are not using resource limits)
Nameservers
By default, server's primary nameservers would be assigned to the newly created cPanel account under reseller. If you want to allow reseller to use their own nameservers, replace the default nameservers with the reseller's private nameservers.
