Managing User Access

  • All subscriptions under your account
  • A specific subscription only

  • Go to Users > User Accounts
  • Select the user account
  • Click Change Settings
  • Clear the User is active checkbox

  • Contact your account manager

Please include the following information in your request:

  • User's full name
  • Email address
  • Required access level/role
  • Which subscription(s) they need access to
  • Any specific permissions they require

Security Best Practices

Our team implements these security best practices for all user accounts:

  • Strong password requirements
  • Regular access reviews
  • Prompt deactivation of unused accounts
  • Principle of least privilege access
  • Activity logging and monitoring

Note: While Plesk provides direct user management capabilities through its interface, we recommend allowing our team to handle these tasks to ensure proper setup and security.
