Automation in CPanel

[NewCP20]

Hi all

I'm new using CPanel and its fantastic. I have couple of question:

- Can I automate the creation of a DB inclusive new user and permission settings?
- Can I automatically upload a file and extract it in a certain folder?

Many thanks for help.

Thanks for the kind words!

For the database portion of the question, you may want to look into our API calls here:

UAPI Functions - Mysql::create_database - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

documentation.cpanel.net

cPanel has a large API system that can provide automation for many of the funtions available in both the WHM and cPanel interfaces, so reviewing those would definitely help with any automation plans you may have.

I'm not completely sure what you mean for the second question about the file, but if you want certain files to appear in new accounts by default you can utilize the skeleton directory:

Skeleton Directory | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This interface displays the location of the skeleton directory.

docs.cpanel.net

as anything placed there will show up in newly-created user accounts on the server.
