Enable chrooted sftp for more than one user per account
If I use FTP, I can make as many users as I want. For various reasons, using FTP is not optimal at my workplace. I'd like to be able to let each ftp user I create log in with chrooted sftp.
I'm able to modify /etc/passwd and /var/www/vhosts/example.org/etc/passwd to make it work, but doing that manually kind of defeats the point of using a tool like Plesk...
Specifically, I give the ftp user the same home directory, and shell as the initial sftp user has in each passwd file.

It should be possible to limit other users to a specific domain with full control panel functionality
When a new user is added, it should be possible to limit him to a specific domain rather than having access to all other hosted domains. e.g i am hosting 4 domains on my subscription and i want to create a user with having access to only one domain with full control panel functionality, i should be able to having this control over other users.
73 votesThe roles that you can set for additional user accounts can help achieve many of the aspects that are mentioned in this feature request. Please see the blog article https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/how-to-grant-access-website-secure-way/ for getting started with roles.

Can set "Preferred domain" setting in the "Service Plans"
In the "Service Plans" part, there is no option for setting the "Preferred domain" (seoRedirectDirection).

Sort email accounts by size of stored data
Sort email accounts by size of stored data.
Currently the email accounts can only be sorted alphabetically by mail address. It would be helpful to sort by size of space used.13 votes -

download subscriptions, customers, domains, email to csv (excel)
On any given Plesk screen where there is a list of items like domains or email addresses add a Download as CSV button. This makes comparing items for discrepancy easier. I have seen several Cpanel versions that have this ability.

Renew a subscription
Ability to renew a subscription based on the subscription plan's configured subscription expiry date.
So if a subscription expires in ten days from now and it's subscription plan is set to expire in one year, I would like to be able to click a Renew button to extend the subscription with one more expiry unit (1 year in this case, 2 years if the subscription plan would have been set to expire every two years).
Also show renewal date in the list and sort by renewal date

subscription wide mailbox size
For example(now) a subscription has:
- 10 Mailboxes
- Maximum mailbox size of 100MB
So the maximum disk usage would be 1GB. but there are 2 LIMITATIONS here. first the client can't make more then 10 mailboxes.
Second the maximum size of an mailbox is 100MB. You can make them smaller but that is useless.a subscription wide mailbox size can remove these restrictions and so greatly increase the flexibility for the client. For example the subscription wide mailbox size of 1GB and maximum of 5(or unlimited) mailboxes.
the client wants:
info@domain.tld: 600MB(is logic since an info@domain is much…48 votesCould you explain why total subscription size is not enough? Why you would need a separate limit for mail content and web content?
UPD: reopened after new comments received

bring back "modify multiple mailbox settings"
as per:
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?290993-missing-feature-change-multiple-email-settingsIn 9.5.4 it was possible to select multiple mailboxes and change their settings simultaneusly.
This is now suposed to be done through subscription plans, but there are certain settings not contemplated.For example, in a 300+ mailboxes domain I want to change each mailbox antispam setting to "move spam to spam folder" and this is not possible though the panel and I need to make a script to do it through shell.
I would like this feature to come back, like it was in 9.5.4

Add limits to backup scheduling
We have some users abusing the Plesk backup functionality. For example, they schedule hourly backups with sites that are multiple gigabytes in size. When we have a couple of those users, our servers are running scheduled backups all day causing 100% IO-wait load.
It would be great if Administrator can limit the frequency of user backups, eg. a limit of once a day, once a week, once a month.
We currently disable user backup functionality to prevent our machines running backups all day.

Add event handlers per domain for switching mail service on/off
It'd be really useful to be able to call handlers for when the mail service for a domain is switched on/off. The only variable needed is probably the domain name. The on/off handlers should be available for both domain and subdomain.
6 votesWe've seen some increased interest in this feature and are re-opening voting for it. Please vote for this feature if you think you need an event that is triggered when mail service is turned on or off.

Custom URL redirects: variability of both source URL and destination URL and the ability to create more than one redirect.
It would have been amazing if plesk users and admins were able to easily and via the panel create domain redirection like you are able to do in cpanel. http://prntscr.com/1k9mql
This saves a lot of time from users and hosting companies helpdesks.24 votesIn the initital feature request it was not clear that the focus was on a regex driven, variable redirect that depends on source URLs and should be able to provide a mapping between source and target. It is also requested that these redirects shall be done on the front-end web server level, not as an Apache .htaccess solution.
We have re-opened the request as per user comment it was clarified thoroughly. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.
Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Add Firewall rule to block outgoing mail for non-Postfix / non-qmail
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachableWould be nice to add this to the Plesk Firewall Module.
This disables malicious scripts of sending direct mail.
Other malicious mails sent through localhost (Postfix / qmail) will…

Ability to migrate accounts from one plesk node to another
It would save huge amounts of time if the admin using the customers plesk account credentials was able to migrate the whole account from the previous hoster without needing to have root access to the server like you can do in cpanel. In order to migrate plesk customers from other companies you need to do it manually !

More control over IPs used in IIS for site hosting.
Sites in Plesk can have only one IP address assigned; this IP must the the same for FTP, HTTP, etc. A change to allow more flexibility should be easy to implement (e.g., allow 'all unassigned'), so sites running on Plesk can be used in load balanced scenario's, e.g. when running Plesk on a cloud server.
