[tecwithquestion]

Hello

Can someone please let me know how to grant ssh access to user command line ? Is it possible using whmapi1 modifyacct user=$USERNAME ?

Please suggest.

You can use WHM API to modify account : https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/SDK/WHM+API+1+Functions+-+modifyacct

Hello,

First, make sure the default shell is set to "jailshell" if that's what you prefer. You can configure this via the "System" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings", or by ensuring the following option is set to 1 in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config:

jaildefaultshell

Ensure you run the "/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd" command after making any changes to /var/cpanel/cpanel.config. Then, run a command like this based on the document referenced in the last post:

whmapi1 modifyacct user=$username HASSHELL=1

Thank you.
