How to limit client to one server

[nolageek]

I know I'm missing something but how would I limit a client to creating accounts to a specific server? For example we have a client with a dedicated server so when they create new accounts via WHMCS we want to make sure they're only on his server.

I don't believe you can what you are wanting to do based on a single user. You can however make it so that WHMCS will only populate one server at a time. You can set it so it will fill up the server to certain number of accounts and then move on to the next server.

That is exactly what we do not want to happen. We have a few clients (resellers) with dedicated servers that add accounts via WHMCS - we do not want them adding accounts to our shared servers. There's no way to assign servers to client groups or something?

 

Do people normally let resellers create accounts on servers willy-nilly? We have 20+ servers and some of our resellers do not want to be mixed with other accounts.

If your 'resellers' are on dedicated servers, why can't they create additional accounts themselves?

[nolageek]

We do not give all of them WHM access - some just want to be on their own servers but don't want to administer it themselves. We have standard resellers as well.

 

I could create a new package and set it not to auto-create (so that we can create them manually on the correct server) but can you limit access to packages to certain clients?

You could create a product groups called "My Resellers", hide it, and then create a new package for each client that links to a different server within WHMCS, which would be their unmanaged dedicated server.

 

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks Sitepearl. I think we're on the correct path.

 

I created a server group with just their server in it (so it'd always be default)

I created a new package and assigned just that server group to it.

So, now when you select the package accounts are created on the correct server, but is there a way to limit clients to certain packages? Otherwise anyone will be able to select that package and create accounts on their server.

 

Maybe make the package hidden but modify the new services form and say:

 

if userID=123

show package

else show other package?

You could do this yes, but depending on how many of these clients you have, the list could get pretty long.

We don't have many like this - 3 I think.
