Important points:
- Can delegate access service owner only.
- Operations that available only to the owner of the service and are not available when delegated:
- Everything that affects the cost of services:
- Changing the hosting plan, VPS tariff change, changing the Dedicated configuration, changing the amount of storage, MongoDB tariff change.
- Ordering, changing and refusing additional services that paid separately. A user with delegated access can only manage supplementary services that included in the fare (cm. businesshosting).
- Delegation automatically turns off at transfer of rights for a service.
- Delegation notavailablewhen a procedure is initiated but not completed in the service owner's account verification.
