Enable Demo Mode in WHM

This tutorial will show you how to enable demo mode in WHM

This demo assumes you’ve already logged in to WebHost Manager (WHM).

You have the ability to turn any account in your WHM into a demo account. A demo account is commonly used as a sales tool, as it allows potential customers to login to CPanel and browse around, but restricts the user’s ability to alter files or folders

1) Click the Accounts Functions link

2) Click the Disable or Enable Demo Mode link

That’s it! Demo mode has been enabled, meaning that when a user logs in to this account’s cPanel, certain functions will be disabled

6) Click the Disable or Enable Demo Mode link

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to setup a demo account, so you can allow your customers access to a seemingly fully functional CPanel, but that won’t allow them to alter any files
