manage root user event handlers **VIA THE UI** without blocking their existence entirely
ability to block access to create / manage root user event handlers VIA THE UI without blocking their existence entirely (i.e. so that CloudLinux installer would work, which I presume creates the event handlers via CLI, but the Plesk admin would not have access via UI to touch them or create event handlers of their own that would effectively give them root access to the underlying server).

Add SMIMEA Record in DNS
Add the SMIMEA record in the DNS-system.
This is required for encrypted email communication.There is no need to set up an automatic system, just the option to create an individual record.
The 63-character restriction must be removed, otherwise the hash of the address is too long and will be rejected.

Cloudflare records exclusions
A very cool feature would be to exclude individual records in the zone from sync / export to Cloudflare and the choice by auto-update to only update / create records without removing whole Cloudflare zone.
In my particular scenario I am serving mts-sts. via Cloudflare worker. Everytime Plesk update DNS zone on Cloudflare the particular mta-sts. record is deleted. This record can not be created in Plesk, because it is a worker trigger.

Add to Plesk possibility of installing certificates from ACME-compliant services other than Let's Encrypt
In Plesk, there is a Let's Encrypt which is an ACME-compliant vendor of certificates. It would be good to have another one or the possibility to implement other ACME-compliant certificates via Plesk tools. For example JPRS: https://jprs.jp/pubcert/about/ACME/index.html

add time-expiring fail2ban whitelist entries
Please add the ability to add IP addresses to a temporary whitelist with an expiration option. Occasionally, customers may need to troubleshoot issues (e.g., verifying their mail account credentials) after being banned by Fail2Ban. To prevent them from being immediately banned again, we whitelist them temporarily. However, over time, if you forget to remove them, the whitelist grows indefinitely. It would be beneficial if these entries could automatically expire and remove themselves after a set period.

Manage journald rotation settings via Plesk
Modern operating systems switch from log files to journals, so log current log rotation settings do not cover all needs. It would be useful to be able to set up journald vacuum settings from the panel.

avoid Plesk panel update when a backup is running
Plesk updates the panel while a backup process is running. This can interrupt a backup, for example:
Error: Server "<hostname>"
Value at Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin\AdminAType\PreferencesAType -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\MigrationDump is expected to be an object of class Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\ScheduledTasks but is of type array
Error:
Unable to create the remote backup: Repository error: Failed to open the file '/usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-de-tmp-repo-NnwqUP/backuplickey002410212254.tzst': No such file or directorybut I have observed other similar issues before. On large servers, a full backup can run for many hours. If it fails, many hours of high cpu load are lost and the backup must be repeated the next night. It would be better to move the Panel updates dynamically forward into a time frame when the software detects that no backups are running.

Enhancing the visibility of protection status in WordPress Toolkit
Recently, Plesk added a vulnerability status feature to the WordPress Toolkit, which is a great step forward. However, both the vulnerability status and the protection status are currently accessed through the same link, making it harder to find the protection details quickly.
It would benefit users, especially those less familiar with these features, if Plesk were to separate these into two distinct links. This way, the protection status would be more visible and easier to access, helping users stay informed about the security of their WordPress installations without extra steps.
For example, the current "Security: Fix vulnerabilities" entry in the status table could be split into two separate lines:
- Security Measures: Review security settings
- WordPress Vulnerabilities: Fix detected vulnerabilities
Both options would lead to their respective sections, making it easier for all users, especially beginners, to find and address both types of security issues. Clearer access to these statuses could also address the concern about the perceived gaps in protection, such as with xmlrpc.php, making Plesk's security offerings feel more complete and transparent.

Plesk Migrator should be able to migrate customers, Resellers and Service Plans that do not have any Subscriptions attached
Service Plans with no Subscriptions assigned as well as Resellers and Customers that do not have any Subscriptions assigned are not migrated via the Plesk Migrator to the new Plesk server by design, because they are considered obsolete and unnecessary.
Yet in many cases, such a transfer of data in necessary, due to which an option that allows this to happen should exist.

Great fight against spam: Make possible to add settings in '.cf' for spamassassin like adding an helping DNSBL and/or modifying scores
The possibility to add DNSBL's is not bad, but not good as without knowing several emails are blocked and in these blocked emails sometimes is a or several hams/emails as false positives. Much better would be being able to put in an '.cf'-configurations-file for spamassassin 'DNSBL's, which do not block but move emails identified as spam to the spam folder. Later on the customer can watch from time to time if hams/femails as alse positives have been sorted out wrongly and put them back to the inbox or a sucfolder which is not for spams.
A rule can even learn from emails which are ham by putting them in a predefined folder like archive or a selfdefined folder where no spams are.
With fine tuning of the simple spamassassin '.cf' I achieved for me and several customers that spam in inbox appears about one time in a week although I have many domains and adresses ad in 2015 I become about 180-220 spams per day (almost all filtered!) ... nowadays it is reduced to about 80-100 spams per day thankfully because of DMARC with their subcomponents.
Yes, I could solve the problem personally in a manual way, but other customers will be very sure happy being able to fight against spam with plesks web interface.

Custom buttons for the customer
It would be great to be able to insert custom buttons into the client's Plesk panel without having to manipulate Plesk code.
At the moment only in the Plesk ADMIN panel it is possible to add custom buttons, but the customer cannot see them from his panel.
Greetings2 votesThank you for your update. I understand now. You would like to add the custom button in the navigation menu for customers. You are right, at this point, it is possible to configure such an option only through classes inherited from pm_Hook_CustomButtons.

Change domain name during migration
Add an option to Plesk Migrator allowing to change names of subscription/domains/databases, etc. during migration. For example on source server subscription name is example.com and on target it should be example.net. It is better than manual rename of subscription and both websites can be live on different servers
