I have tried this multiple times and it keeps failing. I know that it was working a couple of years ago.

In WHM > Plugins > ConfigServer Security & Firewall
I have edited csf.resellers thusly:

Code: Select all

# For example, to allow reseller "someuser" to unblock IP addresses and have an
# alert email sent to root, use:
#
#someuser:1:USE,UNBLOCK
username:1:USE,ALLOW,UNBLOCK
#
In WHM > Resellers > Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges
I select a reseller and click Submit
In the presented options I don't have an option to allow ConfigServer Security & Firewall. The only item pertaining to third-party services is the following:

Code: Select all

Third-Party Services Standard Privileges
 	Manage Third-Party Services thirdparty

It appears to be a bug in v68 of cPanel:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10569

If you edit /var/cpanel/resellers directly and add "software-ConfigServer-csf" to the comma separated privs for the user and then stop and restart cpsrvd:

Code: Select all

/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd --stop
/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd
It should then work OK. If you subsequently change the privs through the WHM UI you'll have to re-add it as above.
