| − | The Staff Management menu contains three sections; Administrator Users, Administrator Roles and Two Factor Authentication. These allow for control over access to the WHMCS admin area. New staff members are created on the ''Administrator Users'' page, their permissions are controlled on the ''Administrator Roles'' page, and login security can be enhanced by configuring ''Two Factor Authentication''.

You can setup as many different role groups as you want and then assign your admins to them as required. As standard, WHMCS comes with 3 default roles - Full, Sales & Support Only.

| |
| − | ==Managing Two Factor Authentication==
| |
| − | Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security by introducing a second step to your login. It takes something you know (i.e.: your password), and adds a second factor, typically something you physically have (such as your phone). Since both are required to log in, in the event an attacker obtains your password two-factor authentication would stop them from accessing your account.
| |

| |
| − | Two Factor Authentication can be applied to staff, clients or both. Instructions for configuring Two Factor Authentication are located on the [[Security_Modules#Configuration|Security Modules page]].
