Add management of restriction of administrative access to CLI

I would like to be able to restrict admin access to certain IPs using CLI. Now it is possible only via plesk db utility which is not that useful.

    I agree too, this functionality should be available through CLI, definitely.

    I agree. Plesk configuration should be fully manageable using CLI tooling.

    Because SQL has more difficult syntax than regular bash command. In bash command, you would just need to specify an IP address/range and on/off mode. (In MySQL you have it backwards, btw, which is confusing).
    For example:
    # plesk bin admin --restrict -ip 203.0.113.2/32 -allow true
    Waaay easier to comprehend.

    In addition, running SQL queries opens opportunities for accidental removal of all records in a table.
    Let's say you need to remove one of IP addresses that are allowed to log in as admin user.

    You run plesk db "delete from cp_access" and hit enter by accident. Boom. No IP addresses in the list anymore.
    Annoying? YES.
    Can be better? Yes.
