Giving Access to Plesk Control to a Client

[Angel]

I want to give a client the capability to control his email accounts. Create/delete/change passwords. My question is I want to limit him to just email accounts and nothing else. Can I create a Plesk Control panel with just email accounts icon for my client.

Thanks

I don't think it'll be "just" e-mail, but you can norrow it down very finely.

Go to the domain administrator section, enable domain user access and uncheck all the boxes except mail. You can then log in as that user (before sending the password) and see what access you are giving.

Thanks, I have made it that far, actually I went one step further I am still trying/testing a few things. What I have done is create the domain admin, with standard and desktop, then login as the user, modify the desktop and remove a few more things, save it, then go back to Plesk and give the client only desktop access. And that's where I am not able to figure out how to give him the access to email account. I know I must be close. What about custum buttons I haven't tried that yet.

Thanks

You could add it to the favourites or "shortcuts"?

Well I got it done! You can give just the email or whatever limit you choose to give to a client throught Plesk Control panel. There are certain clients that you must limit the client some a just brave enough to be dangerous. Anyway the way I did it is:This example is for mail access only. Give the client access to the control panel, through the Domain Admin, select Mailing list management, spam filter managament, Antivirus. Now under user interface choose desktop on standard. This is the sneaky part, before you give the client access. You log in as the client, and then customize the desktop. What I did is remove all options except for mail. Then log out.
Back in plesk under user interface now I only give the client Only Desktop.
Thats pretty much it.

Neat - thanks for sharing it! I know there are others (myself included) he should probably follow that for some of our clients <grin>
