    Hello,

    Every time I run any command from the shell command line as a reseller I get the following error:

    I'm not sure what is wrong or what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Brett

    Hello,

    These commands are only meant to be ran as root. If you need to use the API as a reseller, you will need to generate a accesskey and call it manually.

    Edit to better clarify:

    You can run cpapi2/uapi2 as a user however, you can only specify --user= as root.

    Thanks Terrance. I appreciate the reply. I thought i read somewhere that the api was able t be run by root and resellers. but if this is the way then I'll do that. :)
