Create multiple SFTP users


G
Gabriel Gallagher

On other hosts, you can typically easily add as many SFTP users as you want to any given site + you can limit each user to a certain subfolder of that site if you want. You can easily delete users or change passwords for these accounts without having to track down everyone with access to a site owner account and tell them about password changes.

This is especially useful if you are collaborating with your client, various devs, etc. and don't necessarily want to give everyone the same credentials since that creates logistical and security issues.

I need that again today to send SFTP credentials to Blogvault so they can debug safely... But as I already added the client as the owner... I had to share the owner credentials... then I need to change the credentials, tell the client to update his logins... not convenient at all.
I really wish we can simply add multiple user accounts to a website... Seems a basic feature regarding hosting management.

I think we can already do that with multiple system user, no?

Isn't this just System Users? Maybe instead we can add multiple system users to a Site?
