  • CalendarContact - Allows users to access CalDAV and CardDAV services and features.

  • DNS - Allows users to create and edit Domain Name System (DNS) zone files. This role doesn’t convert your server to a cPanel DNSOnly™ server.

  • PostgresClient - This role checks whether the PostgreSQL client access exists locally.
