The permissions in your reseller subscription determine the available operations and services that can be enabled for your customers. If a permission is set to “Off”, the corresponding service or privilege will not be provided in the service subscription. Additionally, you will not be able to perform the designated action in the Customer Panel. For example, if the permission for Scheduler management is set to “Off”, neither you nor your subscribers will be able to use it.

Reseller-specific privileges (the ones that do not affect service subscriptions you create for your customers) are as follows:

  • Subscription creation in Reseller Panel and domain creation in Customer Panel – The ability to create hosting service subscriptions, add domains, create websites, and set up web forwarding is determined by the “Subscription creation in Reseller Panel and domain creation in Customer Panel” permission.
  • Ability to use XML API – The ability to remotely manage websites through custom applications is determined by the “Ability to use XML API” permission. This interface can be used for developing custom applications integrated with websites, which can automate the setup of hosting accounts and provisioning of services for customers purchasing hosting services.
  • Access to Plesk – Access to the Plesk graphical user interface is determined by the “Access to Plesk” permission
  • Customer account creation – The ability to create user accounts and subscriptions for customers in Plesk is determined by the “Customer account creation” permission.
  • Allow overselling – The ability to set up an oversell policy, allowing you to define if overselling is allowed or not, is determined by the “Allow overselling” permission.

Overselling allows you to sell more resources than is allocated with a plan. If overselling is allowed, a reseller is governed by actual resource usage instead of initial resource allocation. Overselling is a marketing strategy based on the following scheme: a reseller, who was allotted, for example, ten gigabytes of disk space, allocates five gigabytes of disk space for each of their customers, assuming that none of them will actually use all of their allocated disk space.

Meanings of the other permissions are the same as in the service subscriptions.
