Domain Admin can't create accounts, how to handle reselling?
Hey everybody,
We're trying to figure out the logistics of how a Reseller accounts
might work under CloudStack. Initially we thought Domain Admins would be
perfect for this, but they cannot create accounts within their domain
(or even, apparently, users) so this makes that not feasible. Obviously
giving ROOT Admin access to a Reseller is not ideal either.
Has anyone else come up with a solution for this? Right now the only
option seems to be some kind of wrapper around CloudStack that provide
the Reseller ability to create accounts only under their own domain,
which is highly sub-optimal.
Thanks.

Great! This had been a long standing issue, and was finally fixed!
Domain admin's account privilege in the UI used to belie that mentioned in
documentation and API-doc.

While probably not the most optimal for everyone, has anyone check wether the HostBill or WHMCS plugins have this feature available? I haven't used either so I can't comment any further, but it may be an option.

Hey David, Andrija,
Did you guys make an jira ticket for this? It sounds like something
Schuberg Philis wants as well. Let's discuss further.
