How to create a reseller with WHM access without an associated domain

Question

How do you create a reseller with WHM access without an associated domain?

Answer

Note: Users created with the following method will not count against the cPanel license's user limit.

1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user

2. Use the WHM API's createacct command to create the user:

   # whmapi1 createacct username=$user password=$password reseller_without_domain=1

   Note: "$user" and "$password" in the above-provided command must be replaced with the new user's username and password

The new reseller account's privileges can be modified from the command line with the WHM API's setacls command or from the Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface in WHM at Home / Resellers / Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges.
