Disable/Enable access to plesk web interface
I want stop plesk web interface without side effects for the services. I only mean the access as client in the browser. I'm thinking about disabling the web interface via the shell to avoid the many login attempts, to increase security and if you need the web interface yourself, you can temporarily enable it via the shell.
or
Here is already a feature "Restricting Administrative Access" per ip address. https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/restricting-administrative-access.59465/ Nice, but most of us have a dynamic ip address. So it would be nice if you could set the allowed IP(s) via the shell and delete old invalid IPs at the same time.

Ability to show which IP addresses are used by other domains in the pulldown list at Web Hosting Access
If the account has multiple domains, it is possible to set a dedicated IP belonging to that account among several domains, but in some cases you may want to allocate one IP to one domain. (E.g. when setting reverse DNS lookup)
Currently, the pulldown list at domains>%domain name%>Web Hosting Access displays both free IP and the IP used in other domains by the same account, but it is not possible to understand whether it is used by other domains or not.
Suggest to add the possibility to indicate which IP addresses are already used by other domains in the pulldown list. It would be convenient if it is displayed in the pull-down so that mistakes in selection will be eliminated.If the account has multiple domains, it is possible to set a dedicated IP belonging to that account among several domains, but in some cases you may want to allocate one IP to one domain.

Add ability to edit/remove email import in Site Import extension
If mail is imported with wrong settings by mistake, e.g. [Import to * existing mailbox/ create a new mailbox] or [Destination email *] fields are set wrong, it would be handy to have an option to edit those settings after the import or to revert the import operation.
Now there is only re-sync option is present.

Make Start page infos customizable
I use magic spam pro as plugin and it shows underneath the system information on the start page. That means if I want to start the plugin, I have to scroll down because the system info takes quite a bit of space. It would be nice to be able to customize the appearance of the start page / dashboard, i.e. what information is displayed and where.

Extensions actions written in action log
To let the extensions log/note the actions in the Plesk's action log.
As of now, on any extension, a user can do any action without acknowledgment of what has been done.
For security purposes, it is desired to know what actions has been done in Plesk, and installed extensions.

Preset "webmail" and other checkboxes upon SSL certificate creation or reissuing as "checked"
Please provide a possibility to secure webmail automatically if webmail.example.com exists in Plesk.
This can be done by auto-selecting "Secure webmail on this domain" during a certificate creation for example.com.
As it currently stands, end users get confused by the feature.
The more Plesk can simplify this process for end-users, the less support will be required for my customers.

Better email notifications management through CLI
Improve the email notifications management through CLI using the "plesk bin notification" command.
As of now, there are plenty of notifications that can be easily managed in Plesk GUI while it is not possible through that command making it quite hard to manage as the ones that can not be managed through the command itself, need to be modified directly on the Plesk database while in Plesk GUI all (or almost) the notifications are unified under Tools & Settings > Notifications

Change (or add option to select) value that is used for the customer’s account root
Currently, when a subscription is created and the customer adds new domains, the following physical structure is created on a server:
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain
where primary.domain is the primary domain of the subscription and new.domain is another domain, created by the customer.
Sometimes, in this scenario, a number of new domains created by the customer might be quite big, so physical structure becomes something like this:
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new1.domain
...
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new199.domain
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new200.domain
In these circumstances, when the primary domain's name is changed, for example:
primary.domain changed to newprimary.domain so physical structure is changed to C:\vhosts\newprimary.domain*
There is a lot of data that has to be updated in Plesk database and IIS (new locations have to be applied to every domain, every user etc). This process takes some noticeable amount of time depending on the number of domains. This might be especially important when changes are made through API, since response time is quite long.
Here is the following suggestion on the improvement:
A customer sets up an account with a primary domain primary.domain, and a “account root” id of “x31430a42” is associated to the account [the x is purely to ensure that this value does not start with a number]
a. “C:\vhosts\x31430a42\primary.domain is created
b. The IIS website “primary.domain” is created and configured to point to C:\vhosts\x31430a42\primary.domain\
2) A second domain is created called “new.domain”
a. “C:\vhosts\x31430a42\new.domain is created
b. The IIS website “new.domain” is created and configured to point to C:\vhosts\x31430a42\httpdocs
3) Repeat step 2 200 more times
a. Each folder path is created, and IIS sites are created and pointed to the relevant folder
4) Change the primary domain to “newprimary.domain”
a. Impact 1: only the impacted site “mydomain.com” gets change from C:\vhosts\x31430a42\primary.domain to C:\vhosts\x31430a42\newprimary.domain
b. Impact 2: the only update to IIS would be to update the primary.domain site to reflect the change to newprimary.domain (updated settings to reflect the new name and new file path)
This will reduce the amount of data to-be-updated and increase process efficiency.
Currently, when a subscription is created and the customer adds new domains, the following physical structure is created on a server:
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain
where primary.domain is the primary domain of the subscription and new.domain is another domain, created by the customer.

Obsidian Scheduled Tasks update has less functionlity due to cron style Version 18.0.25 Update #2
Version 18.0.25 Update #2 Windows
New Cron style schedule tasks. This was such a poorly thought out feature to implement and as such a bad one.
It's great that Plesk want's to standardise the control panel between platforms but now in the case of Windows servers the experience is worse than before. Previously there were checkboxes that you could tick, so if you wanted a task to execute every 5 minutes then you could just ticket the appropriate boxes.
Now in attempt to bring cron style to Windows without the / character this has become really laborious having to enter 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * *. There should have been compensation for the / character in Windows and Plesk should have translated this behind the scenes instead of the user. Plesk on Windows should detect the / character, work out the increments, produce a comma separated list and use that, the user should be unaware of this.
So it's cron but not cron and as such Windows servers have a feature that's worse than and not as good as it was before.
So for Plesk for Windows either make it so that it's real cron style without the laborious workaround or bring back the old tick boxes, no half measures, it either is or it isn't

"Add another" button when adding mail
It happened to me a few times that I had to create a bunch of mails, over 100 mail accounts. I'd be really nice to have an "add another" button on the bottom, which saves the new account, but reloads the page so you can add another. A minor feature, but think it could make someone's life easier.
Cheers.
