    apt-get install webmin-virtualmin-support

Submitting a support request

For complex issues, if developer intervention has been requested, you can grant temporary remote access to your server. This allows developers to log in to your server and troubleshoot the issue directly.

  • In Virtualmin, under System Settings, click on Virtualmin Support and choose Remote Login Privileges tab.

  • Choose Login end date and set a termination date for the access. Provide Associate bug report URL if you have already submitted a bug report or fill in the Additional comments about login for the support team to know what you need help with.

  • Click Enable Remote Logins. This action configures developers public SSH keys on your server and grants them root access.
