  • 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.

How to properly use service plan with Power User view ?

New Pleskian
Hello,

We are using Plesk 12.5 (12.5.30 atm) and have some questions / troubles. Here is our configuration :

- We are using the Power User view
- We have 2 users who are defined as "admin alias", they are administrating the Plesk
- All others are simple users, assigned to a new specific role. They are developpers who need to manage their webspaces, but not the entire Plesk.
- We made many tests to find out how we can use service plans in the Power User view. The documentation is really bad, even inexistant on that part (or maybe i didn't look at the right place ?), anyway we finally find out we had to use the "Unlimited" plan, so we edited it to fit our needs.
- -> When a user create a new webspace, it use our "Unlimited" plan to create it, until there everything works as we expect.

But :
1. We can't find any way to customize the "Unlimited" plan, so we can give our users the permission to manage the "Additional Apache directives" (under "Apache & nginx Settings"). Only the "admin alias" can edit thoses directives, and we don't want to make all our users admin...
2. Same problem for "Additional directives" into "PHP settings", we can't find a way to add the permission on this field for our users.
3. If we add an "Additional configuration directives" into the "PHP Settings" of our "Unlimited" plan (ex : always_populate_raw_post_data=-1), then all our users can't create proper webspaces anymore, because "Error: The plan was not applied: Custom changes in PHP settings".

Can you tell me if there is a way to achieve our needs ? Are we doing something the wrong way ?
Can we ask developers for the possibility to set new "manage" permissions on the fields "Additional configuration directives" and "Additional Apache directives" at service plan level, like there is for exemple a "manage_php_settings" permission with the command line here : http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...e/plesk-unix-cli/index.htm?fileName=38365.htm ?

Thanks and sorry for my english :)
 
Hi wtfred,

1. We can't find any way to customize the "Unlimited" plan, so we can give our users the permission to manage the "Additional Apache directives" (under "Apache & nginx Settings"). Only the "admin alias" can edit thoses directives, and we don't want to make all our users admin...

Sorry, only admin - role users are able to use the additional apache and nginx directives, because false settings and/or misconfigurations may lead to a non-functional apache - and/or nginx server, which affects ALL domains on your server.
 
Yeah well it's up to each Plesk admin to set his installation correctly no ? If those permissions are added with "false" as default value, it shouldn't create any problem ?

Anyway, what are my options here ? You are telling me i can't do anything to fix or get around my 3 problems ? o_O
 
Ok then, that's for points 1 & 2, thanks for pointing that to me, i'll make a post in the "suggestions" part.

But what about point 3 ? I can't give rights on "Additional configuration directives" to my users, but i can't edit it myself either if i don't want to break the domain creation for my users ?
 
Up, still need answer about my point 3 please :

3. If we add an "Additional configuration directives" into the "PHP Settings" of our "Unlimited" plan (ex : always_populate_raw_post_data=-1), then all our users can't create proper webspaces anymore, because "Error: The plan was not applied: Custom changes in PHP settings".

Can you tell me if there is a way to achieve our needs ? Are we doing something the wrong way ?

Thanks
