Multiple admins, web designers,etc

[truenegative]

I need some help designing my admin and user structure....

Right now, I have the main admin user, which I used to create a user "user1" for example, that has a domain and hosting package. This user1 is a customer that we developed their new site for. Both myself and my partner work on it. My question is, what is the best way to have multiple people work on a website, not necessarily at the same time.

I'm not asking about subversion or CVS here, but more whats the best way to give him access to that user's files, since just a general account on the box won't give him access to that user's directory??

Thanks

DA is setup with the user owning the site.

So using DA you're going to use FTP you'll have to tell everyone the same username/password.

What about giving the other guy working with me access to the DA reseller panel, and having him log into sub account, and use the file manager to download files, modify them, and re-upload them?

There's no real option using ssh/scp either right?

Sure but you're still giving everyone the same password.

Then you'd have to give everyone the root password.

You'd need to manually do this... We use ssh/sftp for this. You can manually create normal user accounts, etc. The hard part is getting the correct umask and filesystem groups and permissions set up.

what i did was to just have the client give him their user/pass so he can ftp in, etc

question though...if a domain is owned by a reseller, their login is what is used to access it right?

Through ssh or ftp you'd need to use the user's login.

Through DA's interface you can do it either way.
