Limitations, security, privacy – be warned
- Will not work at all if
shell_exec is disabled in php.ini
- Works only for admins, or other users with a custom
cpanel capability and email on site domain (so far)
- Any admin (if multisite, only network admins), or user with the filtered capability, on a site, can fully access any account on the cPanel® server instance
- No AYS warnings for delete actions
- If several sites/admins share the same cPanel® account, without being part of a WP Multisite network, no bulletproof separation, because of the way the cPanel® UAPI CLI works, with or without this plugin
