Cannot run upapi or cpapi2 commands as reseller

Hello, Every time I run any command from the shell command line as a reseller I get the following error: [2016-05-12 10:35:43 +0200] die [apitool] setuids failed: Attempting to setuid as a normal user with RUID 826 at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/AccessIds/SetUids.pm line 23. Cpanel::AccessIds::SetUids::setuids("blustm") called at bin/apitool.pl line 63 bin::apitool::run("--user=blustm", "Resellers", "list_accounts") called at bin/apitool.pl line 23 die [apitool] setuids failed: Attempting to setuid as a normal user with RUID 826 exit level [die] [pid=25193] (setuids failed: Attempting to setuid as a normal user with RUID 826)
I'm not sure what is wrong or what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Brett

  Hello, These commands are only meant to be ran as root. If you need to use the API as a reseller, you will need to generate a accesskey and call it manually. Edit to better clarify: You can run cpapi2/uapi2 as a user however, you can only specify --user= as root.

  Thanks Terrance. I appreciate the reply. I thought i read somewhere that the api was able t be run by root and resellers. but if this is the way then I'll do that. :)
