Client template is a predefined set of restrictions and permissions intended to simplify creation of new client accounts with automatic assignment of settings to them. For instance, you can create a client template that will allocate a shared IP address, so that you would not have to manually add the IP address to a client's IP pool each time a new client account is created.

- Ability to create domains
- Ability to manage physical hosting

To create a new client template, follow these steps:
Select the Clients shortcut in the navigation pane.
Click the
Client Templates icon. The Client templates management page
appears: 
Click
Add New Template. The Template creation and editing page
appears.Enter the name for the client template in the Template name field. In the Permissions group, select the appropriate checkboxes to grant all necessary permissions to the client. In the Limits group specify the limits to be applied: uncheck the "Unlimited" checkboxes and type in the values for the parameters. The Mailbox quota limit defines the amount of disk space that a given client is allowed to have per mail box on a single domain. Note, that you can impose the tighter limit on the mailbox size from the Domain Limits page and in the mailbox properties. The Total mailboxes quota limit defines the amount of disk space that a given client is allowed to use for all mail boxes on all his domains. To limit the client account validity period, uncheck the corresponding "Unlimited" checkbox, select the time unit in the drop-down list (it can be Years, Months, Days) and type in the value.
Select shared ip addresses from the list to be used for the client's hosting accounts, add new ip addresses to the list clicking on the Add button, and remove them by selecting an ip address and clicking Remove.
Check the Allocate exclusive ip addresses to the client checkbox to ensure that the client is provided with exclusive ip addresses. Specify the maximum number of exclusive ip addresses to be allocated.
Enter the number of lines to be displayed on a page.
Click OK to submit settings, or click Cancel to discard unsaved settings and return to the Client templates management page.
The template will be added to the list of client templates and become available as option during creation of a new client account.

On the Client templates management page, select the template you wish to edit by clicking on its name in the list. The Client Template Editing page will open, allowing you to change the desired options. Settings that can be configured on that page are absolutely the same as on the Client Template Creation page.
