# Using the Manage Team feature in cPanel
> Learn to use cPanel's Manage Team feature to create subaccounts for team members to access and modify your hosting account.
This article describes how to use the [Manage Team feature](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/preferences/manage-team/) in cPanel. With this feature, you can create team users (subaccounts) that can log in and modify selected areas of your hosting account. For example, you could set up a team user account for your developer to access databases and web files. Or you could create a team user account for someone to manage your domains.
* An entire team can include up to seven team users (not counting your own parent cPanel account).
* For Managed VPS and Dedicated server plans, the Manage Team feature is only available if you have a Premier (100 accounts) cPanel license.
