• 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.

I want to disable File Manager in Plesk 10.4.4

New Pleskian
Is there ANY way I can disable File Manager in Plesk 10.4.4? I simply want to create a control panel for my customers' sites that allows them to manage their emails only - nothing more, nothing less. They don't need file manager at all; in fact it's more a danger to them if they have their control panel password compromised or if they simply delete a critical file from their site through a silly error. It just seems like an unnecessary security risk when none of my clients need it at all.

I can't find anyway to disable File Manager in the Administrator view of Plesk, but is there a more low-level way to remove File Manager e.g. a settings file in Plesk's file structure?

If File Manager can't be removed (and it seems crazy if it can't) it's a real dealbreaker for me.

I've found a solution. For anyone searching for this query, here's what I did:-

I added a subscription in the usual way, then I clicked on the subscription I'd just added in order to edit it. Then I clicked on the "User" tab and added a user. AFTER adding the user, I clicked on the user in the users list (in order to edit the user), THEN I saw permissions for the user. I simply gave the user permissions for mail and denied all other services for this user. This user can then login (with the username/password I set for them) and they can only administrate mailboxes. Exactly what I wanted.

I'm sorry if the question & answer was a bit obvious to some people here. I just assumed the subscriber was the user (if that makes sense).
