Creating Settings

1
POST /settings

Creates a setting, e.g., to toggle user action availability.

Name	In	Type	Description
`param`	body	string	The action to toggle: `instance.action.change_password`, change password `instance.action.reinstall`, reinstall (containers only) `instance.action.repair`, repair (containers only) `backup.action.attach`, attach backup (VEs with backups only)
`instance_type`	body	string	Limits the setting scope: `vm` or `ct` applies the setting only to VMs or containers. `all` applies the setting to all virtual environments.
`module_type`	body	string	`ui` hides the button from the web panel, but the action can still be requested via the API, e.g., using curl. `api` leaves the button on the web panel but blocks its API call. `all` combines the effects of the other two values.
`value`	body	string	Enables (`1`) or disables (`0`) the action specified in the setting.
