Permission denied: You do not have the required privileges to run “myprivs”.

Symptoms

A reseller account tried to manage WHM API Tokens for one of its accounts, but they receive the following error:

Permission denied: You do not have the required privileges to run “myprivs”.

Description 

This occurs because the reseller account does not have the required privileges. It is not sufficient with only cpanel-api and manage-api-tokens but basic-whm-functions is also required.

Workaround

Go to WHM » Resellers » Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges and add the privilege Basic WHM Functions: basic-whm-functions under Initial Privileges to the reseller.
