  1. Allow customers to change Document root with out allowing them to manage the domain name

    Service plans should be more granular, it should be possible to allow the customer to change the Document root without allowing them to manage the domain name, etc.

    Basically the objective would be to have split the "Domains management" permission.

  2. Add CLI for managing Scheduled Tasks to be able to create multiple tasks at once

    In Plesk, there is no CLI for managing scheduled tasks. Thus, if it's necessary to create multiple scheduled tasks, it's required to create them one-by-one in GUI.
    CLI for managing scheduled tasks will allow creating multiple scheduled tasks by invoking a CLI utility in a script.

  3. Allow REST API for Reseller and Subscriber

    Currently only the Plesk administrator can use REST API.
    Suggestion is to allow also reseller and customer use REST API as it's done for XML API

  5. When installing extensions, after install, 3rd party repos should remain disabled

    When installing extensions on Plesk Obsidian, those sometimes enables 3rd party repos like Epel.
    It's also possible that those 3rd party repos have newer versions of system packages that breaks the functionality (for example: the well known non-working AWStats from Epel on Plesk).
    It should be able to disable 3rd party repos after the extension install, and re-enable them and limit its usage to the extension update/install only, so no other packages are updated.

  7. Wildcard for [ip] blacklist in panel.ini

    It would be nice if it is possible to make wildcard-entries in the panel.ini to hide IP addresses. (https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/59410/)

    actually we need to list any IP for some networks, expecially for the docker networks (the default-address-pools should be hidden).

    [ip]
    blacklist="172.17.0.0/16,192.168.0.0/24"

  8. When Plesk user login/logout must contain more information in Event Manager

    in Event Manager, we can select parameter of "Username" only when user login failed and select parameter of "contact name" only when user completely login/logout. Users is asking me that why we didn't use the same variable (Username or contact name, and I preferred username) and more information should be added for security issue (eq. IP Address)

  9. Better email notifications management through CLI

    Improve the email notifications management through CLI using the "plesk bin notification" command.

    As of now, there are plenty of notifications that can be easily managed in Plesk GUI while it is not possible through that command making it quite hard to manage as the ones that can not be managed through the command itself, need to be modified directly on the Plesk database while in Plesk GUI all (or almost) the notifications are unified under Tools & Settings > Notifications

  11. Change (or add option to select) value that is used for the customer’s account root

    Currently, when a subscription is created and the customer adds new domains, the following physical structure is created on a server:

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain

    where primary.domain is the primary domain of the subscription and new.domain is another domain, created by the customer.

    Sometimes, in this scenario, a number of new domains created by the customer might be quite big, so physical structure becomes something like this:

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new1.domain

    ...

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new199.domain

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new200.domain

    In these circumstances, when the primary domain's name is changed, for example:

    primary.domain changed to newprimary.domain so physical structure is changed to C:\vhosts\newprimary.domain*

    There is a lot of data that has…

  12. Insert a link to access Plesk in notifications (E.G Domain creation, Subscription expired, etc...)

    It would be awesome to add a link to access Plesk directly in all notifications sent by Plesk, especially in case of several Plesk servers to administrate. See the example attached.

  13. Obsidian Scheduled Tasks update has less functionlity due to cron style Version 18.0.25 Update #2

    Version 18.0.25 Update #2 Windows

    New Cron style schedule tasks. This was such a poorly thought out feature to implement and as such a bad one.

    It's great that Plesk want's to standardise the control panel between platforms but now in the case of Windows servers the experience is worse than before. Previously there were checkboxes that you could tick, so if you wanted a task to execute every 5 minutes then you could just ticket the appropriate boxes.

    Now in attempt to bring cron style to Windows without the / character this has become really laborious having to enter…

  15. Allow having the logs stored by domain and also stored centralized on a single location.

    Allow having the logs stored by domain and also stored centralized on a single location.

    Currently the logs are stored as /var/www/vhost/system/<domain>/logs.
    and It's also possible to disable that as per https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000067345

    But it's not possible to have both at the same time.

  16. Migrate/move scheduled task with Plesk windows to a different subscription

  17. Stop sending the user back to the root path in file manager after clicking on refresh

    In the file manager, when I press the refresh button of my browser, plesk changes the path to the root path of domain rather than refreshing the actual folder path.

    For example:
    I have a domain called tomydna
    It is a wordpress installation
    So, sometimes, I want to go to wp-content/cache/ to see if cache files and folders are created. Sometimes, I must click on refresh button to see if the server just created new files or new folders.
    Unfortunately, when I press the refresh button of my browser there is an unexpected behavior, Plesk sends me back to the…

  19. Comment field at the bottom of each control panel page

    If making setting changes, it would be great to have comment section as a notepad. This would help to accidentally revoke such settings later because the reason of a config is forgotten.

  20. Support Advanced monitor to be available via embedded code on the website

    Allow Advanced monitoring to be inserted into a site as embeded code.

    Right now for this to work, additional changes has to be made to /usr/share/grafana/conf/defaults.ini manually after every update (in [auth.anonymous] enabled = false needs to be changed to enabled = true)
