User access to their own webmail account only

It’s supported. Simplest, add a ‘cpanel’ custom capability to their user roles using a roles/capability manager like your Members plugin or other.

Hi, that’s great news thanks.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong though as I am using “User Role Editor” and can’t find a custom capability for ‘cpanel’. Am I missing something or have I got to add something to the functions.php file?

Can’t you create a custom capability ‘cpanel’ and add it to the role?

Hi

Got the cPanel role added thanks.

Is there a call I need to make or shortcode I have to use in the front end of the site for the user to access their email account? bearing in mind they don’t have access to the admin area.

Many thanks

Sorry, no.

This plugin only works in the admin area. The current Webmail session is created for any, and may be used if the button is seen.

But it’s a good idea. I’ll think about it for the next version. Must also be a block, I think, as I generally dislike shortcodes.

I never restrict registered user form the admin area. The capability system ensures they only see (or can chenge) what they are allowed to. The read capability gives access, plus the cpanel capability. Other stuff they see are public, or by default considered public.

Thinking about it. You may try

$email = wp_get_current_user()->user_email;

The use this $email to get

$session = WebFacing\cPanel\UAPI::create_webmail_session( $email );
$action = 'https://' . $session->hostname . ':2096' . $session->token . '/login';

The use this $session object and $action url in a
<form method="post" action="<?=$action"><input type="hidden" name="session" value="<?=$session->session?>"/><button type="submit">Your Webmail</button></form>

In case your $session->hostname is empty, use your site hostname or cPanel server native hostname.

Hi

That’s fantastic thanks.

I have added the code in to a function and it does get called but I am getting the following fatal error

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Typed static property WebFacing\cPanel\Email\Main::$pf must not be accessed before initialization in /wp-content/plugins/wf-cpanel-email-accounts/includes/UAPI.php:124

I’ll have a think over the weekend to see if I can get it working.

Working on it myself.
