Admin

An administrative user

An administrative user is responsible for operation and maintenance of a WHMCS installation. Admins have access to create and manage clients clients, place orders, configure WHMCS, manage modules, and can access all of WHMCS's high level systems. Their accounts can log into the WHMCS client area, and like clients, can be configured to use two-factor authentication modules.

This object models an admin's record in the backend database and contains the admin's information and personal settings.

Details

string getFullNameAttribute ()

"fullName" is the concatenation of first and last name.

In classic WHMCS objects, we compute a field named "name" which combines the first and last name for convenience in templates.

Return Value

string The combined name

string getGravatarHashAttribute ()

Get gravatar email address hash.

Return Value

string

string getUsernameAttribute ()

Return the username

This method is required by the UserInterface. tbladmins has a username column, and thus a $username property, however, this model method will prevent the normal model access to that, so the method must manual fetch the value from the internal attributes property. Otherwise a NOTICE will be emitted.

Return Value

string

bool isAllowedToAuthenticate ()

Should the user be allowed to authenticate

Return Value

bool

isAllowedToMasquerade ()

bool|mixed|Admin hasPermission (int|string $permission)

Has a given permission within their assigned role group
