Here’s a brief overview of how additional account users view the dashboard and its sections.

## Logging In

After you create a new user, Hostman will send a link to access the dashboard to the user email you provided.

On the first login, the system will display the username and password so the user can save their credentials.

After that, users will log in using their email and password.

## "Management" Access

Sections where the user has **Management** access will appear exactly as they do for the account owner.

The user will be able to perform all actions: create new services, delete existing ones, and modify settings and configurations.

## "Read Only" Access

Sections with **Read Only** access can be browsed, but the user won’t be able to make changes; all options will be disabled.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**: Read Only access allows the user to see all information in the section, **including passwords**. For example, a user with Read Only access to Cloud Servers won’t be able to delete or create servers, but they can connect to existing servers via SSH and perform any operations.

## "No Access"

In sections where the user has **No Access** permissions, a message will appear indicating insufficient permissions.

-   **If no services exist in the section**, the user will see a standard page with the access limited notice.

-   **If services exist**, the page will prompt the user to contact the account owner to get access:

## Access to Account Settings

In the **Account Settings** section, users—regardless of their access level—will be able to view their profile information, and view their authorization history in the **Security** section.

In the **Personalization** section, users can also:

-   switch the dashboard layout between standard and wide views;
-   toggle between light and dark themes;
-   select their preferred interface language.
