Allow csv export of IP Addresses for easy export to new server when setting up the configuration.
Allow for easy export of various values in Plesk as CSV values. In my case I am generating a yaml file for the server that I am migrating my Plesk server to that contains a lot of IP addresses. Plesk's migration extension is good, but it complains about the lack of available IP addresses on the new server, IP addresses we may not want active/live until the cutover from dev to prod.
I can copy/paste line by line so this is the lowest of low priorities for me.
1 voteAt least three easy solutions already exist to export the list of IP addresses:
1: As CSV:
# plesk db -Ne "SELECT ip_address FROM psa.IP_Addresses INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/ip_addresses.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';"
2: As XML:
# plesk bin ipmanage -xi
3: As a formatted text list:
# plesk bin ipmanage -l

Assign a user to access only specific subscriptions
Currently, there is no option to selectively assign a user to access multiple subscriptions.
The available choices are limited to granting access to either a single subscription or all subscriptions.1 voteAs on a subscription level the security model does not allow to add a role user to one subscription who can access another subscription, too, (that would break the security model, because then users could create their own permissions to access other users' subscriptions) it will not be possible to add a feature where a user inside one subscription can be allowed to access other subscriptions.
But: You can assign multiple, selected subscriptions to the same owner (user), so that when that user logs in, he sees all the subscriptions assigned to him and can access the subscription of his choice with a single user login. In order to assign a subscription to an existing user (subscriber), click on the "Subscription" menu, check the subscription(s) that you wish to link to another subscriber and click the button "Change Subscriber".

A suggestion to have Sendmail disabled by default
Sendmail is currently enabled by default on new Plesk installations.
While there's an option to disable Sendmail, it might better to have it disabled by default with the option to enable it. This could prevent issues with outgoing spam messages, i.e. if a website has an unsecured contact form or if there's a malicious script.
1 voteThe option depends on what is set on the "Mail" options tab of the service plan that is used for a subscription. You can choose "Not configured" in the service plan to have mail service disabled by default on new subscriptions.
If you want to prevent any outgoing mails from a subscription, including mails sent by scripts, you can set the "Outgoing mail" preset to zero on the service plan, too.
Turning mail service off for the whole server in general on a new installation is very likely not what users expect. E-Mail is one major usage of a server.

Diagnose & Repair
Add more features to it so it checks the status health of the domain-name report and checks for active SSL checks for viruses on the server and adds the ability in this function to make harder PHP services.
1 voteThe purpose of diagnose and repair tools is to check if system services are running, if configuration files are present, correctly formatted and functional and if the database structure and content are consistent. The auto-repair capabilities of the tools are already magnificent. But the tool is not designed to
- improve security ("make harder PHP services")
- find or remove malware ("checks for viruses")
- report SSL status ("checks for active SSL")
- check domain names (we don't see how a domain name could not be healthy)
For such additional tasks, other software is already available for free in Plesk. For example for the security related checks the free ImmunifyAV extension will be helpful. For the SSL related checks the SSLIt extension can help, because it displays a full report for all domains (simply click "Open" on the extensions page). Regarding PHP hardening, this is a quite individual task with…

Filemanager autodelete cron job
Please add an autodelete Feature.
Something Like:
[fileManager]
trash.autodelete = 1
trash.deleteafterdays = 30If it's working from "Julian Bonpland Mignaquy" posted here.
find /var/www/vhosts/* -maxdepth 1 -type d -name ".trash" | xargs -i find {} -type f -mtime +1 | xargs -i rm {}
1 voteThis feature is already available in a very similar form. It is described in the change log for version 18.0.39
https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/?18049#plesk-18039
Since then you can configure auto-deletion (rotation) by date or by size. We would appreciate hearing your feedback on implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

Configure session idle time / logout of phpMyAdmin
automated logout happens in phpMyAdmin even if i am continuously checking sql commands in phpMyAdmin , the editted sql commands are lost and effort gone waste
logout should happen only in case of the phpMyAdmin console is idle for certain time say half an hour1 votePhpMyAdmin is linked to the Plesk GUI session. If the Plesk session expires, phpMyAdmin times out, too. To avoid this you can change the session settings in Plesk with Tools & Settings > Security > Session Idle Time.

Websites and domains Dynamic List is too slow with too many entries
If you have more than 100 domains/subdomains in Plesk, then the dynamic list of domains, which is loaded just after login, takes too long to load.
In some cases it reaches the timeout limit. It would be nice if after some seconds the page isn't loaded yet, then enable the classic view and reload the page.
1 voteIs the issue still actual? We've done improvements to address the performance concerns.

Backup mailbox configuration only, but no emails
In the server backup settings, there should be a setting such as backing up all the settings of the e-mail addresses and not backing up the e-mails in the mail accounts. There is no need to backup mails on servers that mostly use pop3, and because this setting is not available, backup sizes are too large.
1 voteIn automatic and manual server and subscription backups you can uncheck the "mail messages" box to exclude messages in mail boxes. This will not backup the messages but will still backup the configuration of the mailbox. The mailbox configuration can be restored afterwards by restoring the mailbox. Only the configuration will be restored in that case, not the content of the mailbox.

consecutive scheduled tasks
Would be a great feature to be able to setup a scheduled task run run after the completition of previous running task.
In this way we can setup an start hour for one task and the rest to run in chain after this.Best regards
1 voteThe desired outcome can be achieved by chaining LInux commands with double ampersand. If this cannot be done for some reasons it is also possible to place the commands that shall be executed sequentially in a shell (.sh) file and to run that file from cron.
