Topic : Softaculous Remote : Web API : Users

Is there a way to disable or prevent the API from creating a partially-complete user when a call is made for a username that doesn't already exist?

For example, if I call the Add Domain function for a non-existant username, it adds a new user to the users table, but it's incomplete (no email address). With no ability to edit an existing user entry, this can become problematic

Hi,

It looks like you are using 'useuser' for creating the user session while adding a domain. If you use 'useuser', the user is created if the user does not already exist. In this case, a null email id is added.

If you want you can pass the email address in POST or GET methods along with other parameters. Here, if the user already exist and you pass an email address, it will remain the same as before. But if the user does not exist and you pass the email address, user will be created and email will also be added for that user in the users table.

Please feel free to contact us for further queries.

Hi,

Also, at the moment there is no way to edit the email address for an existing user, though we'll add it soon in the next Softaculous version.

Please let us know for further queries.
