WHM API 1 getdiskusage - Permission problem

[Brooky A]

Hi Guys,

I'm looping though an array of cPanel servers using API 1 to get the disk usage with getdiskusage.

Essentially I want to create new accounts on the server with the lowest percent disk space usage.

This API call only works if I enable root access on my API token which doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Can anyone suggest how I can either grant this specific permission or obtain the info in a different way?

Hi @Brooky A

You cannot run the API as any other user besides the root user, so authenticating as another user would not be acceptable.

Thanks!
