On NameSilo, sub-accounts (also called sub-user accounts) are designed to let you safely delegate limited access to your main account without sharing your primary login credentials. This is especially useful if you want others—such as employees, partners, or technical support staff—to perform specific tasks (like managing domains, updating name servers, or making purchases) on your behalf, while you retain control and oversight.
Key features and uses of sub-accounts:
- Granular Permissions: You can specify exactly what each sub-account can access, including which domain portfolios they can view or manage, and whether they can use your stored payment methods or account funds. They will never see your actual billing details—only the payment method nickname, if permitted.
- Activity Tracking: All actions performed by sub-accounts are logged, so you can monitor what changes are made and by whom. This provides transparency and accountability.
- Security: Sub-accounts minimize risk by allowing you to avoid sharing your main account credentials. You can also set expiration dates for sub-accounts or delete them at any time, instantly revoking access.
- Delegation: If you are not comfortable performing certain tasks yourself, or if you want to outsource domain management, sub-accounts make it possible to delegate these responsibilities securely.
- Reseller Use: As a reseller, sub-accounts can help you manage access for clients or staff, giving them the ability to manage their domains under your reseller umbrella while you maintain overall control.
In summary:
Sub-accounts are a secure, flexible way to let others act on your behalf within your NameSilo account, with customizable permissions and robust activity tracking to protect your assets and business interests
