Plesk Panel Users root and admin

[Sphin]

Hi there,

I can login in my Plesk Panel with the users root and admin. But I cannot change the password for root there. If I'm logged in the Panel as root and click on "Change Password" (translated, might be different because I use German language) the password changes for the user admin. Or do I have to change the password for the root user in Plesk Panel on the command line of the server with "passwd" - is the local root user of the server the same as the root user in Plesk Panel?

OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Plesk: 12.5.30

Thanks, Sphin

You shouldn't be able to login to Plesk as root other than at the initial setup...

Thanks a lot! I really searched the docs but I could not find this advise of the kb. For I had no /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini but only its skeleton (/opt/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini.sample) I guess, I created an empty one with the [login] directive and it works as expected.
