Client can't access Additional nginx directives dialogue

[GlennT]

Hello,

I've been trying to configure Plesk Service Plans to give customers access to Web Server Settings > Additional nginx directives dialogue but all they see is what is in the attached screenshot.

Customers can enable Process PHP by nginx but they can't see the Additional nginx directives dialogue per the attached screenshot.

In my service plan, I've enabled Hosting performance settings management which is the only option I can see which might give them access to Additional nginx directives but that doesn't work.

Is there a way to give customers access to Additional nginx directives AND Additional directives for HTTP?

I'm running Plesk 12 on Centos 6.

Thanks in advance,
G

This option is only available for admin accounts. We believe that this is inappropriate to give customers this potentially dangerous possibility.

Thanks for your response Igor.

I can understand the rationale behind that decision but this presents some challenges for the client and the hoster.

When php-fpm is enabled for a website, htaccess no longer works and the htaccess directives need to be moved into Additional nginx directives which the client can't access.

This means we as the hoster would have to handle all those requests for the client which is not really a good option.

Is there another way handle htaccess with php-fpm enabled websites that would allow the client to manage on their own?

Alternatively, could we not have the option to enable Additional nginx directives on a site by site basis where I am confident in the developers ability?

For example, I don't enable SSH for clients by default but will on request AND if I feel the client is technically proficient.

Any insights you can provide are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
G
