User auth

[MRM]

Hello, about authenticating as root if you are local on that machine with: ./directadmin --root-keyauth, is there a similar way to use it for the user? lets say i have a shared server and i have 5 users that are renting the server from me and i want to use the user credintials via api, does it makes sense or it is okay to use root credintials on shared? i thought it wouldnt be secure enough so im writing this.

Hello, sorry for the late reply, I think formulated my question in a wrong way.

what I actually want to do is to create an API URL, automated, but only with user rights, so essentially:

da api-url --user myuser
# root-auth URLs are only supported when executed as root

I would like to create an api url only within my users right scope, is there a way to automate this without having to create one manually via gui?

You should be root on the server if you want to create an API URL. For other cases you will need to use username/password combination to access API.
