Feature Manager
The Feature Manager allows administrators to enable or disable specific features (pages) within the OpenPanel UI. This is useful for customizing the control panel experience based on user roles, security policies, or hosting plans.
Each feature can be toggled individually via the interface. Once activated, the feature becomes visible and accessible to all users. Deactivating a feature hides it from the panel and disables its functionality.

Use Cases
Feature Sets are used to control which UI features users can access based on their assigned hosting package. This allows for clear separation between user types and service levels.
Example 1: Database-Only Plans
Create a feature set named "MySQL Only" and enable only MySQL-related features within it. Assign this feature set to all database-focused hosting packages. For instance:
- One package allows up to 10 databases.
- Another package allows unlimited databases (
0for no limit).
Despite the difference in limits, all users under these plans will see only MySQL-related pages in the UI.
Example 2: Beginner vs. Advanced Users
Create two separate feature sets:
Advanced Users Set: Enable features like Docker and PHP.INI Editor to give experienced users full control—such as setting custom resource limits, restarting services, etc.
Beginner Users Set: Do not enable advanced features. Instead, allow access to a PHP selector with limited options. This keeps the UI simple and safe for users with minimal technical experience.
Feature not showing?
Features are accessible to users only if the corresponding Module is active. Modules control which OpenPanel features are available, while Feature Sets determine access based on the user's hosting package.
For example, adding the "Docker" feature to a plan does not grant access to the Docker (Containers) pages in the UI unless the Docker module is also activated under OpenAdmin > Settings > Modules.
