    Hello,

    We are trying cpanel + cloudlinux for a new hosting plan for our client and as a web agency we edit our own website, so we need one access per user on every website.
    Is it possible to setup X webdav account for all website and new website configured on this server ?
    (Webdav Account + Domain website)

    Greetings

    Hello,

    By default, the system creates a Web Disk account for each cPanel username, and sets the account's home directory as the Web Disk location for that account. This account uses the same login information as the cPanel account. Documentation on this is available at:

    Web Disk - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

    Thank you.

    Hello Michael,

    Thanks for your reply.

    To be clear, is it possible to give access on all websites to a reseller ?
    I would like to create an account for each of my teammate to login on each webdisk with their username + domain of the webdisk without creating each account on each website.
    CPanel can handle this configuration ?

    Hello,

    You'd have to use the specific cPanel account username to access WebDav for the websites under that cPanel account. Setting up a global user to access WebDav for multiple cPanel accounts isn't supported.

    Thank you.

    Ok thanks, so it means I have to create each account for my teammate on every website account ?
    Can I use CPanel API for this task ?

    Hello @Maxence,

    If you have setup separate cPanel accounts for each website, then you must use a separate username when accessing WebDav for each website. The username/password will match the cPanel account username/password. You can setup individual Web Disk accounts via the "Web Disk" option in cPanel if you prefer to not provide the cPanel account username/password to your teammates. The following UAPI function is available if you prefer to create these users via the command line or a script:

    UAPI Functions - UserManager::create_user - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Just to say, I used your Json API to setup all my webdav account on each client owned by certains reseller, it works like a charm.

    Functions used :
    • resellerstats
    • listwebdisks
    • addwebdisk
    • delwebdisk
    • passwdwebdisk

    Thanks.
