(Advanced) Managing Auxiliary User Accounts

If you want to allow other users to access Plesk for managing websites and installed applications, or to use email services under your domains, then you need to create user accounts for them.

Auxiliary Users and User Roles

Auxiliary user accounts are created based on user roles. The roles include privileges to access certain areas of Plesk and perform operations in Plesk. There are several predefined user roles, namely: Accountant, Application User, Owner, and Webmaster. You can review and modify the Accountant, Application User, and Webmaster roles to suit your needs, or you can create your own custom roles. For more information on user roles and user account creation, refer to the sections User Roles and Auxiliary User Accounts correspondingly.

After auxiliary user accounts are created, the users will be able to log in to their accounts in Plesk and use shortcuts in their Plesk panels to access their mailboxes and work with applications. In addition, you can extend the list of links available to your auxiliary users with your custom links. These can be links to corporate resources, sites on the web, and so on. Learn more in Custom Links.

Auxiliary Users and Multiple Subscriptions

Since Plesk 10.4, if your customer account includes more than one subscription, you can allow auxiliary users to access only a specified subscription. If the Access to subscriptions property of a user account is set to a certain subscription, the user will always log in to this subscription and will not be able to switch to other subscriptions.
