  1. Have some setting to limit days and timeframe of any updates

    To have some settings to limit any kind of updates to be installed in the server like:
    Day of the week, hour timeframe.
    There's such settings in panel.ini but only for Plesk updates. I'm missing the same for System Updates and Hotfixes.

    Currently, only major updates can be scheduled as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377016862103-How-to-manage-date-and-time-for-Plesk-autoupdates- and the forum thread https://talk.plesk.com/threads/update-times.355417/. System package updates and minor updates are not affected.

    This feature asks to also provide a setting where sytsem package updates and minor Plesk updates can be scheduled. This is a valid request. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

  2. Implement an Auto-Update function for Skins

    Since the release of Obsidian, every new microupdate changed significant CSS classes in the Skins, which required our custom skin to be edited each time. However there is no way to deploy the new versions automatically.

    My suggestion: Implement a way for Skins to be auto-updated.
    The meta.xml-File in the skin could contain a new field like "official_url", which is then regularily checked for a newer version, than the one currently installed.

    This is about shipping Plesk with email notification messages translated into all supported languages. Let’s find out how important this feature is for out customers. Please vote this request up to let us know you need it.

    As a temporary workaround, Plesk administrators can provide their own custom translations in Tools & Settings / Notifications.

  5. Monitoring Mailbox activity

    Feature in Plesk GUI to monitor Mailboxes activity:
    - Know which mailboxes didn't have activity in a specific period of time. For example, this would be useful to clean up mailboxes without activity.
    - Know which mailboxes activity with forwarding enabled in a specific period of time.
    - Possibility to cleanup selected mailboxes from same GUI.

  8. Autosave a shadow copy (local storage perhaps) of an ongoing edited file to prevent data loss in case of session timeout

    My suggestion lies on the fact that I indeed lost my work on a php file that was open in the code editor, when I absent-mindedly pushed the "Apply" button on the text editor and realized with horror that my admin session timed out and I was returned to the unmodified version of the file once logged back in.

    It would be convenient to autosave in the background ongoing changes of a text file that is bound to change once opened in the editor, in order to prevent data loss.

  9. Add select tick box to search results to allow action on multiple files

    It is possible to select multiple files and delete them in Plesk File Manager.
    However, if you search files, then the result doesn't have checkboxes to select multiple files. Therefore if it is required to delete all ".htaccess" (or any other) files, I can find them but I would need to delete them one by one.

  11. ability to change IP for particular domain

    Currently, in Plesk it possible to change IP only on subscription level. As a result, the IP is changed for all domains under subscription. The ability to change IP on domain level would be very useful

  15. Customize columns in site list

    Would be great to allow selecting what columns to display in the Domains or Site list.

    Column suggestions:

    • Site name (user customizable)
    • Domain name
    • Type
    • Status
    • PHP version
    • Server (apache/nginx)
    • Location (if multiple site locations are allowed)
    • Traffic
    • Size (including files + database, why is it always calculating incorrectly for subdomains?)
    • URL
    • wp-admin url if wordpress
    • Wordpress toolkit link - directly to this site
    • Date created
    • SSL status

  16. Add enabling "Keep websites secured" with all options via CLI

    Suggest adding the CLI commands for enabling "Keep websites secured" and all four options:
    "Include the "www" subdomain"
    "Secure domain aliases"
    "Secure webmail"
    "Secure mail"
    in SSL/TLS certificates.
    It would enhance the advanced administration of SSL certificates, especially beneficial on servers with large amount of domains.

  17. Limit Service Plans management to Additional Administrators (Restricted Mode) and Resellers

    We are trying to create an Additional Administrator with Restricted Mode or Resellers but it's not possible to restrict those users to manage the Service Plans.

    It would be great to add the possibility to hide the Service Plans option in the menu by restricting their permissions.

  18. Add curresponding CLASS / ID to each page in plesk

    In order to support custom css themes, there should be a top class / id that represents the page we're viewing right now.
    There is no way to say via CSS that we view smb/web/view or any other page. So Custom CSS rules are applied broadly to all pages, which limits the option to hide elements, add "::before, ::after" content, redesign specific pages and not all pages with certain CSS rules.

    How should it be implemented:
    You can implement page classes / ids in the html tag or body tag or right after body tag.
    For example:
    1. In "smb/web/view",…

  20. more granular user role permissions to manage sites
