What is the best way to secure control panel access to multiple web developers?
Multiple websites are hosted with one hosting company, however only one control panel is provided for both sites. Each website has a different technical contact person. What’s the best way of providing secure access? FTP only access can be granted to each tech contact, but they may need control panel access to set up/modify SQL DBs etc.
The concern: In providing full control panel access, how does one really know what the technical contact is up to (i.e. is there a way to prevent/detect the tech from providing back door access for himself for the future, etc.)
Suggestion welcome.

I take it the "control panel" is in fact cpanel, and the second technical contact has an add-on domain?
The same company do another product called Web Host Manager (whm), which allows a global admin to set up multiple separate cpanel accounts.
If you're only paying for one cpanel account/license, then you should set up a password protected phpmyadmin with access to a set number of databases with fixed names.

you are going to prefer to look at a catalogue of logins for the Joomla and verify he did no longer upload one with administrative permissions that's no longer the default administrator login, or you're taking the spectacular steps in having your internet host reset get entry to passwords. As one very final precaution i might take an entire backup of the positioning and any underlying databases so as that in spite of if he does trash the positioning (which may be criminal) you will have the skill to easily fix your backups.
