How to Manage Wheel Group Users in WHM

May 12, 2022 / cPanel & WHM

Adding a user to the Wheel group allows them to switch users, including root, from the shell if they know the password. Because this grants full server access, only add highly trusted users and keep the group as limited as possible to reduce security risks.

Follow the steps:

  1. Log in to WHM.

  2. Select the “Security Center” option from the left-hand side of the screen.

  3. Click on the “Manage Wheel Group Users” sub-option.
    manage wheel

  4. You will now see two boxes.

  5. Select the users and click Add to Group to add them to the Wheel group.

  6. To remove users from the Wheel group, select them and click Remove from Group.
    manage wheel

  7. You will receive a confirmation message for both actions.

    1. Remove:

    2. Add:

In this way, you can add or remove users from the wheel group in WHM. Get in touch with eukhost support staff for any assistance.
