Add MX and CNAME records via XML/JSON API - Permissions?

[Jason B]

Hi,

We're trying to add MX and CNAME records using the 'addzonerecord' API function. Do we need root permission at the server to do this? If so, calling that family of API functions as 'root' should be as simple as specifying 'root' as the username, following the authentication procedures at:

ApiAuthentication < SoftwareDevelopmentKit < TWiki

And providing the hash we get from logging onto WHM and generating it. Right? Anything else we need to do to have access to these functions?

Thanks,
Jason

Hello

The following thread should be useful to you:

Privileges necessary for remote cPanel / WHM usage

It explains which users are capable of using API functions.

Thank you.
