Domain Setup - Best Practice

P

Question for you all... is there a best practice for setting up accounts? Like are people typcially setting up a client for every domain, or just setting up new domains under "my domains?"

Unless I'm missing something, it seems a little cumbersome - after the domain is created, I have to go back and grant control panel access, enable spam filtering on mailboxes and a few other tweaks.

I've got 15 Ensim servers and am just learning Plesk, so any advice is welcome.

Thanks!
 
Regarding to "s there a best practice for setting up accounts"

In Plesk there is a "Client account" – owner of one or more domains. Depending on their permissions, some clients are allowed to add domains for themselves; some are only allowed to manage those that they have. Clients configure web hosting and other services, like mail, etc. Clients also have their unique login names, e.g. bigclient01.

Client accounts are used if you want to let some people to manage domains. You just restrict them and they create/delete domains, manage services for their domains and so on.

I did not quite understand this: "after the domain is created, I have to go back and grant control panel access". I can suppose, you meant "Domain user account". It is an owner of a single domain. Domain user uses the name of the corresponding domain to access Plesk, e.g. domain01.com.
