Is icontrol an API or does it have to be manual? Can you please point me to the sample example and docs since I am new to this website? I am looking for something that can be automated and doesn't need a root access. Something where the access is limited to just my application vips. Could you please help a little and give me some advise as to how to go about it, or if it's even possible?
iControl is an API. We have documentation for the API in the iControl Wiki.

The API wraps the functionality of the product admin GUI. My recommendation is to create the configuration you would like in the product GUI (with login settings/etc) and then access those settings with iControl. The user accounts are the same under the seams.
