Resolved Disable root account for plesk panel

[John32]

Is it possible to disable to root login to the panel?
I do not mean the SSH login.

As far as I know it is impossible.
Could you please clarify why do you need this ability?

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply.

I would like to do it in order to enhance the security.
All plesk panels have a root user and there are a lot of robots probing different passwords.

For security reason you can use Tools & Settings -> Restrict Administrative Access
Or fail2ban feature.

I have looked at the restricted access and fail2ban.
I just wondered whether it was possible to disable the root access.

Thank for you help

For Linux: Go to '' /opt/psa/admin/conf '' then name the " panel.ini.sample " - file to panel.ini and insert:

[login]
systemAdmin = false

then the root user is deactivated!

You are welcome!

Anyway I would recommend to download the google authenticator app for some extra security.

Isn't this also disabling admin access?

I would like to disable root but keep admin. Is this possible in 2025?
