Overview

Plesk 10 allows you to create many kinds of Control Panel users. These users can log into the Plesk Control Panel and gain access to a customized set of features for web administration. You should create this type of user if you want to be able to log into the Control Panel directly, without first going through the Server Administration Panel.

For a deeper understanding of this user, please go to Plesk users explained.

Access to the Plesk Control Panel

1. Log into the Plesk Control Panel for your domain. See Figure 1:

   
   Figure 1:The Plesk Control Panel.

   TIP:

   If you log into Plesk with the admin user, you will be in the Server Administration Panel by default. To get to the Control Panel, click on Domains, then on the Control Panel link next to your domain.

2. Click on the Users tab. See Figure 2:

   
   Figure 2. Click on Users.

3. Click on Create User Account. See Figure 3:

   
   Figure 3. Click Create User Account.

4. Fill in the requested information, then click OK at the bottom. See Figure 4:

   
   Figure 4. Fill in your Contact name, email address, role, and password.

   • Contact name: This can be whatever you want.
   • Email address: This will be your Plesk username for this user.
   • User role: Administrator can access everything and add other users. WebMaster can access everything but can't create users. Application User and Accountant have very limited access.
   • Password: Please choose a strong password.
   • User is active: Leave checked to grant this user access to the Control Panel.

   TIP:

   You can modify the access for these roles or create new roles from the main Users page, under the User Roles tab.

5. That's it! This user can now access the Control Panel directly from the browser. The URL is https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8443 or https://example.com:8443, using your own IP address or domain. To modify the details of this user at a later point, repeat steps 1 and 2 above, then click directly on the user to modify it.
