Hi, I would like to know if I need disable root access after I have connected Serverpilot to my server and/or if I need to do other things to add security for root.

Thank you

Hi, disabling root SSH access won’t cause any problems for ServerPilot. The only time ServerPilot SSH’s into your server is when you initially connect your new server to ServerPilot.
