# Manage Team
# Overview
!! Note
!! If the *Manage Team* feature does **not** appear, ask your hosting provider to enable it in WHM’s [*Feature Manager*](https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/packages/feature-manager) interface (*WHM » Home » Packages » Feature Manager*).
The *Manage Team* interface (*cPanel » Home » Preferences » Manage Team*) allows the team owner to create and manage team users as part of the *Manage Team* feature.
# Team users
The team owner is the cPanel account that owns the team. A team user is a virtual account that operates under the team owner’s account. A team owner can create the following types of team user accounts:
| User | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Team user **without** [role](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/preferences/manage-team/#roles) | A team user without a role can:<br />- Log in to cPanel. <br />- Update their password. <br />- Change the default interface language. <br />- Update their contact information. <br />- Access [services](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/preferences/manage-team/#services) that the team owner assigns.A team owner can create an **unlimited** number of team users without roles. |
| Team user **with** [role](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/preferences/manage-team/#roles) | A team user with roles can:<br />- Log in to cPanel. <br />- Update their password. <br />- Change the default interface language. <br />- Update their contact information. <br />- Access [services](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/preferences/manage-team/#services) that the team owner assigns. <br />- Perform the [role’s](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/preferences/manage-team/#roles) associated administrative functions.A team owner can **only** assign roles to seven team users. |
***
The *Manage Team* interface displays the number of current team users with roles and the maximum number of team users with roles you can create in the account quota status box:
The default maximum number of team users **with** roles is seven. Only a `root` user can adjust this value to a lower number. For more information, read our documentation on WHM’s [*Edit a Package*](https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/packages/edit-a-package/) interface (*WHM » Home » Packages » Edit a Package*).

## Roles
The *Roles* column displays the roles assigned to the team user. Assigning a team user a role allows the team user to manage various aspects of the cPanel account. You can assign a team member multiple roles. You may **only** assign roles to a maximum of seven team users.
The following chart lists the features available for each team user role in cPanel. These options may vary depending on what features the hosting provider has enabled.
