Reseller ACL or Permission List during Account Creation

[hostcaptive]

I was just curious as to why you cannot change the default permission list for resellers when you create an account. Maybe in the 'create a new account' page, after you click 'make the account a reseller' another drop down box should appear to allow you to give it a predefined permissions list. I find it extremely incompetent that what you create an account, the default list is basically nothing, you cannot even create accounts with the default list. This basically defeats the purpose of having a reseller with the default list. Yes I know you can manually change it, but it gets very annoying after a while. Maybe you guys could implement this in your next build? Thanks cPanel!

I second the motion. This is a must and will be more efficient.

Totally in agreement here, for the sake of automation , i would say this feature will fit right in.

This feature already exists as ACLs. The only way it doesn't mesh precisely with your request is that you need to go through the step of moving your mouse over a drop-down box, and select the ACL rather than having it be the default.

Furthermore, there is a purpose to creating reseller accounts with no WHM access: when you want to have a hosting customer have multiple separate cPanel accounts but no ability to create or edit those accounts beyond what is available in the cPanel interface, but still be able to switch accounts using a drop-down box in cPanel.

So basically this request is about setting a default ACL.

Yes. This needs to be possible to effectively be able to create Resellers with any automation.

If you are automating the creation of Resellers, why not just use the setacls XML-API functon?
