  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Access with another user

WhiteTiger

WhiteTiger

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.50
With Plesk upgrade appeared a message to use admin to login, but there is no admin user.
Instead I want to use another user, already present in Linux, to be able to disable access to Plesk with root.
Already for SSH I disabled root access and configured to use a key.

Can I use this user?
And can I use the key I already use for SSH?
 
There is no option in Plesk to use an existing system user as a Plesk user with Admin privileges. The Admin user created on installing Plesk is the default Plesk Admin user, which can be used only for accessing Plesk.

Plesk is installed by the ISP and now I login as root, the user that the ISP created when activating the VPS.
If I try to login as admin, it gives an error
