Additional parameters:

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
tokenstringYesAuthorizing API token – check API Basics for more information.

passwordstringYesThe password for the account, should be at least 8 or more symbols.
permissionsstring|arrayYesPermissions array or ‘all’ string for full root permissions.

When using a permissions array, you can set the category sub-array to ‘all’ string to include every child page available or use an array with every page that you wish to include, for example:
  • If you use [ 'server' => 'all' ], all pages under server category will be included in the newly created user permissions list;
  • If you use [ 'server' => [ 'information', 'status' ] ], the newly created user will access only the pages specified.
Check the full API call example below for further clarification.

Info
The structure and an always up-to-date list of all available admin user permissions can be obtained by running the admin/listadminuserpermissions API call. The list is pulled directly from SPanel’s system in real-time.
