Calling WHM API Function 'listips' as a reseller

[emduck]

Hi,

I'm having trouble calling WHM API Function 'listips' as a reseller.

When logged in as a reseller, I do not have permissions for the 'listips' function. The only way to have this permission is to be logged in as root.

However, I don't want to give root access to my resellers.

In WHM, when logged in as root, I gave the reseller account very liberal permissions; checking off virtually *everything* except for the Root Access checkbox--for which WHM shows a warning "All Features (warning: total and complete access)"

Can someone tell me how to give access to listips for resellers?

By the way, the answer is NOT to simply modify the reseller account, and allocate them a block of N IP addresses. I've already done that. This problem has to do with permissions for the "listips" WHM API function itself.

Thanks!
Emily

Hi Emily,

You are correct, 'listips' is not allowed for resellers

You can run the 'applist' function to determine which functions are available for the user you're authenticated as.

Dave,

Thanks so much for the thorough reply. It's exactly what I needed!

Best,
Emily

Actually, what I've noticed is that several functions, while not given by the "applist" of the reseller, are nevertheless accessible to the reseller. So far, this is true of the following functions:

editquota
removeacct

Perhaps a bug with applist?

Hi Emily,

Good catch. I'll dig around to see if there are any bug reports related to applist's inaccuracy; I'm not aware of any, so I'll probably file one.

Many Thanks

Thx, Dave. Not a high priority, of course!
