This article will show you how to configure web hosting teams in the Nexcess Client Portal. The portal offers the option of utilizing the three default team levels/roles with predefined permissions or implementing a custom team configuration with custom permissions.
Why not have all users with the same permissions? If you are the only user accessing your portal, setting up hosting teams might not be necessary. But for clients where multiple team members are logging in, team member permissions by user are a great way of managing what those users can access and perform.
Overview of web hosting teams in the Nexcess Client Portal
The Nexcess Client Portal allows you the ability to assign teams. These hosting teams can be made up of different permission levels/roles. Team Members can be assigned to three default web hosting teams:
- Superuser
- Billing
- Technical
If you want to make your own teams, the Nexcess Client Portal has that ability too.

Once you are on the Team Permissions page, you can start to configure your teams and create new teams. The three predefined default web hosting team levels/roles are readily available:
- Superuser
- Billing
- Technical
The benefit of creating and using hosting teams is that you can limit a team member’s ability within the portal based on their expertise by assigning them to a team with predefined permissions:
- The Superuser Team is the equivalent of an administrator and can access all functionality within the Nexcess Client Portal.
- The Billing Team is geared towards account management, and invoicing and is less technical.
- The Technical Team can access more technical functions of the portal and is limited when it comes to account management and billing.
- A customized team is used if the default teams don’t fit your mold. You can just make your own! One of the most useful parts of the Team Permissions page is the ability to create customized teams.
The Team Permissions screen is where you will configure your web hosting team permissions as you might have thought:
