# Create user session with existing session

This function creates a temporary user session.



* Because this function requires a valid cPanel session ID, you  call it via a cPanel or Webmail session URL. If you call this function via the command line or Template Toolkit, it will  create a temporary user session. You  use the WHM API 1  function to create a temporary user session.
* Third-party plugins that require access to temporary MySQL users  call this function via the URL. It will create the temporary users before they are available. You can find these users in the  environment variable.
* If you  update your system, update your scripts to call the  function. This will create a temporary user session for you.
