How to disable access to Plesk for root (Plesk for Linux) or Administrator (Plesk for Windows) users?

Answer

  1. Log into Plesk.
  2. Go to Extensions > My Extensions > Panel.ini Editor > Open > Editor.

    Note: in case of the Panel.ini Editor is absent in Extensions > My Extensions, install it using the solution from here.

  3. Add the text below at the end of the file:

    CONFIG_TEXT: [login]
    systemAdmin = false

  4. Press the Save button.
Solution using the SSH access (Plesk for Linux)
  1. Log into the server via SSH.
  2. Using the vi text editor open the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini file.
  3. Add the text below at the end of the document and save the changes:

    CONFIG_TEXT: [login]
    systemAdmin = false

Solution using the RDP access (Plesk for Windows)
  1. Log into the server via RDP.
  2. Open the %plesk_dir%admin\conf\panel.ini file with any text editor.
  3. Add the text below at the end of the document and save the changes:

    CONFIG_TEXT: [login]
    systemAdmin = false

Note: There is no possibility to disable access to Plesk for the admin user.
