Admins

WHMCS allows you to create admins to access and use the Admin Area.


General Troubleshooting

General errors can occur in many places throughout WHMCS, and can be due to many different problems. However, fixing them is often simple.


Get Started with WHMCS

Thank you for choosing WHMCS! From installation to configuring your store, our simple setup process will help you get up and running fast.


The Admin Area

The Admin Area is the portal that admins access when they work within WHMCS. The WHMCS Admin Area has over 125 interface or feature pages, each often containing multiple sub-interfaces.


The Admin Dashboard

The Admin Dashboard includes quick access to important information in WHMCS, like daily sales figures, support tickets, billing and invoicing totals, and your system's automation status.


Apps & Integrations

WHMCS includes a large number of apps and integrations that we ship with WHMCS by default, and you can find more apps and integrations from the WHMCS Marketplace.


Admin Tools

Admins have access to a personal calendar, to-do list, and notepad.


My Account

From any page in the Admin Area, the currently-logged-in admin can quickly access and change their account and security settings.


Rename the Admin Directory

Customizing the WHMCS admin directory name makes it harder for bots and malicious users to find the login URL for your Admin Area.


Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard or Getting Started Wizard appears the first time that you log in to the Admin Area. It helps you start configuring WHMCS.


Banned IP Addresses

WHMCS automatically bans IP addresses after three failed login attempts, or you can permanently ban them manually.


Change the Number of Results

Change the length of each page of results in Admin Area lists by selecting a number for the Records to Display per Page setting.


Configure an Admin Avatar

Add a custom Gravatar to display for your admin account in the Admin Dashboard's Staff Online widget and in the Accounts menu.


Create Admin Dashboard Widgets

Use hooks to create custom widgets that display to admins in the Admin Area Dashboard. You can also customize WHMCS's included widgets.


Log In to the Admin Area

Log in to use WHMCS's many Admin Area interfaces and features and to manage system configuration, billing, support tickets, and more.


Manage Dashboard Widgets

Refresh the cache for Admin Dashboard widget contents to see the most recent information for each of them in the Admin Dashboard.


Project Management

The Project Management addon module helps you organize tasks by linking tickets and invoices with to-do items to create projects.


Change How Dates Display

You can configure how dates display for admins and for clients. This allows you to display locale-specific date formats to your customers and staff.
