PartnerDirectAdminModernWrite
Call a user-scoped DirectAdmin /api/* endpoint with POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE for an explicitly assigned Partner client service.
Endpoint: https://sive.host/modules/addons/shapi/sh-api.php
Method: POST using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Consequential action: may purchase, delete, replace credentials, or remove data. Access is limited to directly owned records or explicitly assigned Partner-managed client services after both relationships are verified.
Important behavior
- DirectAdmin authenticates as the client hosting account; server administration remains blocked.
