[cobalt-users] Adding/Modifying/Deleting Users from shell or script

["Ryan Howe" <ryan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have created a MySQL database to manage users for billing purposes. The
frontend is webbased simular to the current Raq GUI but with some additional
information. My question is how can I use the current perl scripts on the
Raq to add/modify/delete users? It appears that you have to be in root in
order to use the Cobalt::Meta.pm but I don't want to use a system() command
as root to use these scripts because of security. Also I have seen
references to the Raq.shell-tools which appear to be exactly what I need but
again they would need to be run as root. How does the current GUI add users
the the domain with only site administrater permissions? I have tried
running the scripts and logging in as admin which would should work, as
admin can add to any domain, but this does not work. Any advise would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you
