Question Deny login with root

[WhiteTiger]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.70 #1

Plesk was initially created by the ISP with the root user.
After the first login, in "Profile & Preference" I changed the username and enabled MFA.
Now with this user I can log in to Plesk, but I can still log in with the root user; after that, if I then go to "Profile & Preference" I see the profile with the new username.

I then created a second administration user, also using MFA.
However, I noticed that in the MFA users account there is always only one user, the one I did not log in with.
In other words:

• If I log in as User1, I use MFA1 and in the MFA accounts I see User2
• If I log in as User2, I use MFA2 and in the MFA accounts I see User1
• If I log in as root, I do not use MFA and in the MFA accounts I see User2

I want to disable root access.
At SSH level I already did it from the first moment.

The root user is an alias of the default admin user.

This Plesk support describers how you can disable root login for the Plesk Panel: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...cess-to-Plesk-for-root-or-administrator-users
