Webhooks
I imagine most sysadmins would like the idea of being able to set up webhooks for many of the notifications sent out via Plesk so that we can log this info and/or act on it.
Some notifications that would be great to be able to add webhooks for:
1. A user/attacker gets blocked for using the wrong password too many times on an email or ftp account
2. Email account/hard drive reaches specified capacity
3. Apache is down!
4. Server is down
5. DNS issues
6. Let's encrypt issuesI'm sure there are plenty more situations where webhooks would be…

Access action- log by API
It would be helpful to access the action- log by API (maybe with filters like IP, user, time-period, keyword in the entry as like described here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001117533-How-to-get-the-list-of-actions-that-have-been-done-in-Plesk-)
Use Case
Clients regularly report problems, where we suspect a manipulation done by themselves. So before asking them, "what did you do / change", we check the logs for their activity. This often is really helpful to offer a well-prepared reply and not to bother the client with such questions. Sometimes, they even didn't remember what the did.Unfortunately, we have to take several steps to use the Logs

Add possibility to Plesk API (not a CLI gate)retrieve the "Description for the administrator" value for domains and subdomains
At the moment only by using the API CLI gate, it is possible to get value for "Description for the administrator", but even in this case it is not possible to retrieve the "Description for the administrator" value for the subdomain
This should be work as for GET as for PUT requests

Remote control of users or plesk subscriptions.
Hi, I have an idea, and if from a single Plesk installation, you can manage subscriptions from other servers with Plesk. For example, I have installed plesk in panel.mydomain.com, but the host where my client's subscription is in panel.1.mydomain.com, so it would be nice if from panel.mydomain.com the subscription can be managed remotely form. The remote server with plesk. my client would enter plesk from panel.mydomain.com and from there would manage the subscription hosted on panel.1.mywebsite.com, (if it could also be good, multiple plesk servers are configured and when creating a new subscription or client in plesk, the subscription is…

add a simple interface setting that allows the user to hide some of the links from the left hand nav bar
A setting that enables the user to customise or hide links on the left hand nav bar. For example we only ever use the subscriptions link, so the domain, reseller and service plan links are not used, taking up real estate space that is not required. A simple tick box admin page could be set up to allow for hiding the features from the sublinks.
This could be a per user or a global setting.
As the new interface allows for a larger branding image, which is much better, the suggestion would also enable a better layout of the nav…

XML-API: Enable Secret Key for Resellers (and Customers)
Currently, Secret Keys are only available to system admins:
https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/api-rpc/about-xml-api/reference/managing-secret-keys.37121/It would be great that also resellers (and potentially customers) could create such a key to not have to store user credentials on a server.
(What was the rational to prevent this?)

Plesk API: Expiration Date
Hello,
There should be an option to read and modify the value of the "Expiration Date" variable on the Plesk subscriptions in the API. That would help a lot.

Access external email address on mailbox trough RCP XML API
Since Plesk 17.9 users can specify an external email address on a mailbox which will be used to reset the password if they lose access to the primary email address.
It would be nice if this external email address could also be read, set and changed trough the RCP XML API.

Make firewall CLI more usable
At the moment, it is mandatory to use a second ssh session to confirm the changes. Therefore, you cannot easily script things like setting up a firewall on a new Plesk server.
Also, it's not possible to deactivate or modify the default rules like it's possible via GUI.- Implement a "--force" parameter to be able to setup the firewall via script
- Make it possible to modify existing rules
- Make it possible to deactivate rules

Add an option to REST API for Automatic Logging In to Plesk for customers
Somethimes it is useful to add some features to a website so the end user who is logged in to this website can click a single button which will redirect him to his Plesk account.
So the idead is to use REST API to get a login link for the customer as this feature is already implemented in XML API.
In REST API today I can only generate aAdmin login link but not a customer's one.1 voteThank 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.
