• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question permissions for a new account, group psaserv or psacln?

New Pleskian
I have been requested to create a user account to be able to login directly under a subdomain like:

/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/mysubdomain

I have changed the home folder for that user.

But It doesn´t work with psacln, so unless I set the main group for the user as psaserv:

usermod -g psaserv newuser

I can´t login in that folder. Has that changed recently? What is the correct group?
 
The correct group ought to be psacln. But did you ever manage to manually create a home directory underneath the /var/www/vhosts/<domain> path this way? I doubt that it works, because the SSH access level for the path is the /var/www/vhosts/<domain> level. You are trying to nest accounts. The correct solution I think is to remove the subdomain from the subscription where it is and instead to create a separate subscription. There you can give the subscription user SSH access easily through the panel and won't have to worry about permissions.
 
You can create an SSH account and modify the home folder later in /etc/passwd

I have managed to do that only if I use psaserv as main group.
