Hi guys
I hosting a friend’s of mine wordpress I give him virtualmin and web min
how can I give him just webmin with minimum options I do not want him to play around and touch things
What options would you like him to be able to have?
One option would be to only provide FTP access… that would prevent them from fiddling with a lot of things.
Or, since Wordpress is a pretty self-contained app, and can even upgrade itself now, you may not even have to provide FTP access. They could manage much of their account from within WordPress.
Would that do the trick?

Thanks Eric, some thing like cpanel for user would do
Basic things OK , file manager etc…
Not very familiar with virtual admin but it seems it has much much more configurations in there
So, for “file management” it’d be advisable to, as Eric said, give them FTP access, while making sure to lock them in the public_html directory. If they need file access.
Otherwise Eric’s question is indeed valid: What exactly should your friend be able to do? It’s useful to ponder that in detail before giving them access or starting related configurations. 
I think most of virtualmin things for users are not necessary so I think I want my friends have just the webmin things
For example I do not want all those stuff for a normal users
Networking and Addresses
Processes and Limits
Document Options
Proxying
Show Directives
Just Webmin would do I suppose?
Uhm, well, actually Webmin has even more power to do evil things to your system than Virtualmin. Also, Webmin consists of like 30 modules, on a fresh system. Most of which a simple Wordpress admin will not require.
So, again the question, what EXACTLY do you want your friend to be able to configure?
OK Loctus and other friends
This is what I want
File manager
Backup
know disk space usage
FTP accounts
FTP session control
Logs
password protect directores
IP deny manager
hotlink protection
add subdomains
My sql managements
remote mysq
cron jobs
Error pagel
Howdy,
Unfortunately, Virtualmin doesn’t offer the sort of fine-grained control you’re after.
You can do some tweaking though, by looking in Administrative Options -> Edit Owner Limits. You’ll want to check out all three secions, “Virtualmin limits for server owner”, “Allowed capabilities and features”, and “Other restrictions”.
That may help you get closer to what you’re after, though Virtualmin can’t really do the specifics of what you’re after there.

Ok thanks then I have to give them just ftp and no virtualmin at all.
in that box at the bottom
Allowed login type is email. ftp and ssh?
how can I disable at least ssh for a user?
You need to go to System Customization -> Custom Shells, set it from “built-in defaults” to “shells below”, and turn on the “Admin” checkbox for the “Email and FTP” shell. Then you can select it in the dropdown box in Owner Limits.
