I've created a bash script to set a user's reseller owner. #!/bin/sh ################################################################ # # # CPANEL RESELLER CHANGE # # # # Coded by Noah Hearle, Design Extreme # # https://designextreme.com # # # # Created: 2019/06/04 # # Modified: 2019/06/04 # # # # Quickly change a users" reseller in shell # # # # Usage: sh ./reseller_change.sh # # # ################################################################ if [ ! -n "$1" ] && [ -n "$2" ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m Please enter the user and the reseller"s username" echo 'Usage: sh ./reseller_change.sh ' exit fi if [ ! -n "$1" ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m Please enter the user" echo 'Usage: sh ./reseller_change.sh ' exit fi if [ ! -n "$2" ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m Please enter the reseller"s username" echo 'Usage: sh ./reseller_change.sh ' exit fi user=$1 reseller=$2 if [ ! -f "/var/cpanel/users/$user" ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m The user: $user doesn"t exist" exit fi if [ ! -f "/var/cpanel/users/$reseller" ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m The reseller"s username: $reseller doesn"t exist" exit fi if [ $reseller != 'root' ] && [ $(grep -c "$reseller:" /var/cpanel/resellers) -lt 1 ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m The user: $reseller exists but it is not listed as a reseller" exit fi if [ $(grep -c 'OWNER=' /var/cpanel/users/$user) -lt 1 ]; then echo -e "\e[38;5;202mError:\e[0m Current reseller is not set for user: $user" exit fi if [ $(grep -c "OWNER=$reseller" /var/cpanel/users/$user) -gt 0 ]; then echo -e "\e[33mWarning:\e[0m Reseller: $reseller is already set as the owner for user: $user" exit fi sed -i "s/OWNER=[a-z][0-9a-z-]*[0-9a-z]/OWNER=$reseller/" /var/cpanel/users/$user /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updateuserdomains echo -e "\e[38;5;118mSuccess:\e[0m Updated $user with new reseller: $reseller"
It just needs two arguments, one for the user and the second for the reseller's username. There are some sanity checks for user and reseller existence too.

  You can also use /usr/local/cpanel/bin/whmapi1 modifyacct user=$user owner=$reseller Where $user is the username of the account and $reseller is the new reseller user that is to own the account. Of course, this doesn't have any of the sanity checks you have in place, but if $user doesn't exist or $reseller isn't a reseller, then it won't be able to do anything.
