  • 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 permissions for a new account, group psaserv or psacln?

New Pleskian
I have been requested to create a user account to be able to login directly under a subdomain like:

/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/mysubdomain

I have changed the home folder for that user.

But It doesn´t work with psacln, so unless I set the main group for the user as psaserv:

usermod -g psaserv newuser

I can´t login in that folder. Has that changed recently? What is the correct group?
 
The correct group ought to be psacln. But did you ever manage to manually create a home directory underneath the /var/www/vhosts/<domain> path this way? I doubt that it works, because the SSH access level for the path is the /var/www/vhosts/<domain> level. You are trying to nest accounts. The correct solution I think is to remove the subdomain from the subscription where it is and instead to create a separate subscription. There you can give the subscription user SSH access easily through the panel and won't have to worry about permissions.
 
You can create an SSH account and modify the home folder later in /etc/passwd

I have managed to do that only if I use psaserv as main group.
