Adding an Authorized User

You can control who can access protected directories by adding authorized users. Generally, at least one authorized user needs to be added, otherwise no-one will not be able to view the directory.

To add or modify an authorized user:

1. Click on the Password protect directories button on your Cpanel home page.
2. Navigate to the required directory. Select a folder by clicking on the folder name link. Open a folder by clicking on the folder icon.
3. Enter the user's name in the Username field, and their password in the Password field.

Click on the Add New User button.
