Create user without a domain.

[Harrocan]

I have a simple question. Meaby easy, but not for me. How can I modify the DA to be able to create accounts without the need to enter the domain?

Regards, Harrocan

You can create an account with a bogus domain.

If you really want it without domain, you can do it via shell.
I presume Jeff is refering to this thread:

I found it via google, could not find a good search term for searching this forums for you.
I tried "create accounts without domain" with 10 pages or so result.

Yes, I always search these forums via Google.

No, I wasn't referring to that thread.

This is what I'd type into Google:

create user without domain site:www.directadmin.com

However I can't find a thread which answers the question so I'll answer it here.

Simply create (perhaps using a custom skin and and API calls) a user with a bogus domain (for example USERNAME.example.com (where USERNAME is replaced with the specific username being created) and then call the API call to delete the domain immediately.

For a user I don't see much in the way of issues, but if you do this with a reseller you won't be able to send a new account email, ticket notification, or system message, without a meaningful email address unless you set one up manually.
