For centos, it does not work for main server domain hosting files. It does not repair user and user group so file permissions stays for root user.

In test server with Plesk Onyx 17.8 and CentOS 7 everything works as expected.
Could you please clarify Plesk version and OS?
Are there any errors when restoring permissions?
OS CentOS Linux 7.5.1804 (Core)
Product Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 Update #24
Copying the example folder list was okay. There were no errors shown after the repair command but files/folders user:usergroup were root:root. I run "chown -r foldername" command for changing them to username:psaadm etc.
