Adding separate user accounts in Plesk helps you share access without giving everyone full control. You can decide who can manage websites, toepassingen, of e-mail, and limit access to specific subscriptions only.
This approach is commonly used on environments running Plesk-hosting where multiple people collaborate on the same server or set of websites.
When User Accounts Are Useful
Creating individual users makes sense when:
- Developers need access to websites but not billing or server-wide settings
- Content editors should manage sites without administrative privileges
- Different teams work on separate subscriptions
Using roles and limited access reduces mistakes and improves overall security.
