Howdy,
Well, only Master Admin users -- such as root -- can create new top-level Virtual Servers.
And only top-level Virtual Servers can have an account plan -- a Sub-Server would be part of the account plan belonging to the top-level domain.
In Virtualmin Pro, there is a special type of user called a "reseller". A reseller is able to create new top-level Virtual Servers, select Account Plans, and so on.
But without Virtualmin Pro, you would need a Master User to be able to create new top-level Virtual Servers and be able to set the Account Plan.

Thanks for your reply Eric. I think I understand what you're saying but I have some questions:
If my staff's accounts need to be a Reseller or Master then why would they have the option to Create a Server in the first place?
And how do I convert a staff's account to a Master or Reseller account?
Thanks for your time!!

They can create Sub-Servers -- that is, domains within the currently created accounts.
So when your staff is presented with the ability to create a new domain, unless they're a Master Admin, that domain would reside under a top-level Virtual Server, which already has an Account Plan setup for it.

Only Virtualmin Pro accounts have Reseller's available to them.
However, you can make a user a Master Admin by granting them root or sudo privileges on your server.
That is, if you take an existing user, and set them up with sudo in the /etc/sudoers file, Virtualmin will consider them a Master Admin.
