Add an ability to encode parameters sent in custom button URL
Currently, parameters passed to the custom button URL are put there in plain text (even FTP user password).
As the custom button URL is using GET request, the parameters can be easily replaced by anyone which is not secure and doesn't allow using custom buttons for logging customers into a third-party service (e.g. billing).
Please consider implementing an option to securely encode URL parameters so only the receiving side can decode them.2 votesThank you for your input.

Extend the possibility to manage Client permissions via CLI
Currently, in Plesk it is possible to manage general permissions for customers via Plesk Panel or CLI. Sometimes it is necessary to manage Client permissions in more precise way in command line.
Please add the feature to hide/show separate menus via CLI, e.g. enable/disable such menus separately:
-Web Hosting Access
-SSL/TLS certificates
-Limit Outgoing Messages
Also, it would be useful to restrict access to edit separate paragraphs such as:
-Hosting Settings> Certificate
-Hosting Settings>Web statistics (Protect access to your web statistics with your FTP username and password)3 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Ability to show which IP addresses are used by other domains in the pulldown list at Web Hosting Access
If the account has multiple domains, it is possible to set a dedicated IP belonging to that account among several domains, but in some cases you may want to allocate one IP to one domain. (E.g. when setting reverse DNS lookup)
Currently, the pulldown list at domains>%domain name%>Web Hosting Access displays both free IP and the IP used in other domains by the same account, but it is not possible to understand whether it is used by other domains or not.
Suggest to add the possibility to indicate which IP addresses are already used by other domains in the pulldown…2 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

clean temp folder daily windows servers
Windows Servers (Plesk) become slower when the c:\windows\temp folder has thousands of files in it even if you have SSDs as IIS will have to load all those files each time it loads a website or does a task.
This folder seems to have thousands of .spamassassin files aswell as thousands of PHP sessions files and its not always a permission issue.To ensure this does not occur we created a daily scheduled task to use ForFiles app on windows server to clear it each night. This improves speed dramatically.
We recommend Plesk consider creating this in the panel of…

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)

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

Using LDAP with Mail server
The LDAP Auth extension only allows enabling LDAP authentication to Plesk. Can you allow end-users to use outlook/thunderbird/webmail with the password stored in the Active Directory?
In this case, the mail server has to be configured via Plesk to use the LDAP authentication.

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…

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.
