Interface Views

As mentioned earlier, each Panel user group carries out their own set of tasks through Panel. To better meet user needs, Panel offers two interface views: Service Provider and Power User. These views define what panels you use, what tools are present in these panels, and how the tools are organized.

• Service Provider view.
  This view is convenient for HSPs as it is intended for selling hosting services. It has all the features required to create and manage customer accounts, subscriptions, and service plans. This view includes the Server Administration Panel and the Control Panel.
• Power User view.
  This view is the best for power users - those who use Panel solely for personal needs, such as for maintaining a company portal or a mail server. In this view, both server administration and hosting services management take place in the Control Panel. As this view does not assume a reselling service to others is needed, it does not provide facilities for managing hosting plans, subscriptions, resellers, and customers. Also, as the server administration functions are included in the Control Panel in this view, the Server Administration Panel becomes unavailable.
  
  This view can be tailored to needs of an administrator if you select Custom view in the view selector. For details on how to do the customization, read Customizing Power User View.

You can change the Panel view any time from Tools & Settings > Interface Management.

Hosting Operations in Server Administration Panel

By default, when you want to perform an operation in a certain hosting account (for example, create a mailbox), you open this account with the link on the Domains or Subscriptions pages. The account is opened in a new window.

Since Panel 10.4, there has been no need to open hosting accounts in separate windows. This may be convenient when you want to perform a series of hosting operations on a group of accounts or you are just accustomed to carrying out all hosting tasks from a single GUI as in previous Panel versions. You can set Panel to perform all hosting operations in the Server Administration Panel on the Tools & Settings > Interface Management page. Once you activate the option, Panel will open hosting accounts in the interface that is similar to the Control Panel but shown on the current page of the Server Administration Panel.
