Direct or faster access to phpMyAdmin
Currently it's too difficult to login to the phpMyAdmin interface. Users have to login in on plesk, choose their domain (if they have more than one), go to website & domains, select the databse page, then select the database they want to use and now they can finally open the webadmin. Too much steps! And if the session ran out, you have to do all these steps again.
The fasted way would be to allow that users can open the phpMyAdmin URL without loggin in to Plesk and only use their credetials for the database. I could understand if that isn't wanted due to security reasons.
But then and would be much better if there would be the possibility to reach the phpMyAdmin interface faster. Maybe with a seperate database tab (like E-Mail) where you see lines with users and an icon to open the webadmin for them (selecting one specific database shouldn't be neccesary, the user can select it at pma). Maybe there is better solution.

Bullshit. Then you fucked up something else. apt-get install phpmyadmin does just that: install phpmnyadmin. If not then you have broken your system earlier and apt-get would have informed you of that.

Don't apt-get install phpmyadmin on a plesk server !
I just did that on a production server and had to reinstall the whole server.This does not "work out of the box"...

Why not let users remotely connect to MySQL via SSH than open phpMyAdmin? MySQL Workbench allows such connections ;)

You can just run apt-get install phpmyadmin. This will create a serverAlias in Apache for /phpmyadmin, so phpmyadmin is reachable under all your domains via /phpmyadmin.
This works out of the box.

It would be nice if i can add an user account to plesk that only have rights to manage one specific database and not to "add and manage all databases".

could be a few security issues with this what with botnet attacks and also many sites with sub-standard sql passwords. I'm happy with the way its built into the panel.

hmm I do wish that was possible without logging in plesk for just incase you need support from someone else using a different login directly to phpmyadmin without sharing your plesk login.
