Lock out resellers and users

Submitted by ChrisBlackwell on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 07:41

A method for the master admin to lock down Virtualmin (and log out other users) when needing to perform maintenance tasks.

For example you may need to perform changes to the system during which time you do not want resellers creating new virtual servers or users trying to run backups.

Hi,

I am not able to manage our Virtualmin Account created under username ghotek. The forgot your password did not work.

We had purchaesd a 50 user lic of Virtualmin Pro which was installed on our server hostname mc01.ghotek.net. The virtualmin module is no longer accessible and i have tried to pay for the renewal lic but unable to logon using the previous account details under username ghotek.

Please we need to restore the Virtualmin module and also renew the lic. I would appreciate if you can help us as our clients are not able to use the Virtualmin Control panel anymore.

Please i really need your help on this.

Thanks

oodusan - could you file a separate bug for this? Your request seems unrelated to Chris's original request.

Chris - you can disable all resellers with commands like :

for resel in \`virtualmin list-resellers --name-only\`; do
   virtualmin modify-reseller --name $resel --lock
done

Use the --unlock flag to enable them again.
