When CageFS is installed or updated on a cPanel server, users with jailshell are switched to /bin/bash. This is intended: inside CageFS, users are already isolated, and keeping jailshell would make cPanel's virtfs duplicate dozens of mount points for every user.

Users stay restricted to their own files, because CageFS provides the isolation. No action is needed.
