One thing that seems to be the most confusing coming from cPanel is the management of accounts.

It appears that an admin account can not directly create end-user shared accounts, and thus, must create a reseller account to manage end-user accounts. But when you do that, the reseller doesn't appear to have the ability to create @domain emails or manage their account in a similar fashion that the end-user would.

As an admin, I created a reseller using the "mydomain.com" domain. But now I can't create @mydomain.com email addresses, because no options exist when logged in as that reseller to do that. Furthermore, I can't create a shared account under that domain because it's "already in use" by the reseller.

I've searched and I can't quite find anything that answers this because any combination of "directadmin" and "email" just brings me a ton of end-user results that do not apply. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Disregard... I created a new 'reseller' with a different branded domain. Moved the few demo/test sites under the other reseller to it, deleted the domain I wanted to use from the system, created a new account under the new reseller with that domain, and setup email that way.

Sort of backwards, but it works.
