There are three types of users in SiteBuilder: Administrator, Resellers, and Users. The administrator and resellers work through the SiteBuilder administrator's panel, whereas users create web sites using the SiteBuilder wizard, which is a client part of the application.
The SiteBuilder administrator is a user with administrator privileges who manages the SiteBuilder functionality and configures SiteBuilder settings for users. Through the administrator's panel, the SiteBuilder administrator can perform a variety of management tasks, such as configure system parameters (database settings, language, licensing, and backup options), set up publishing options, manage web sites, and define the components that will be available for users. The administrator also adds and manages reseller accounts, i.e. he or she adds allowed hosts and web sites to reseller accounts or disassociates hosts or web sites from reseller's accounts. For more information about the administrator's functionality, refer to the SiteBuilder v.2.1.1 for Unix Administrator's Guide.
Resellers are SiteBuilder subadministrators who can sell web-site construction services to end-users. The resellers manage the web sites of their customers, define plans for web site construction services, and define the hosts on which users can publish their web sites. Resellers have their accounts (login and password) for logging into the administrator's panel. The SiteBuilder administrator adds reseller accounts to the administrator's panel. For more information on resellers and their functionality, refer to the SiteBuilder v.2.1.1 for Unix Administrator's Guide.
Users are clients who want to create and update their web sites using the SiteBuilder wizard. To start working with the SiteBuilder wizard, users do not need special accounts. The next section briefly describes the general procedure of creating a web site using the wizard.
