Plesk User with Access to ALL Websites

[wfernley007]

Hey everyone,

Is it possible to create a plesk user that has access to all websites?

I will be creating a script that allows me to upload images to all sites on the server. Right now when I try to do that, I get an error saying I don't have access to the other websites. Is it possible to create a user that does have access to every site?

Just think of the security implications...

Stepping back: do you really need those images to be on all domains? Why can't they just get the images at a central location?

I understand it won't be as secure but it needs to be done across all my sites.

Also, it will only be me using all these sites so I will be the only one having access to it.

You might have to write a script that takes the images (from one domain or a dir or something) and copies them to the others and correctly sets the owner afterwards. You'll need to run this as root obviously.

Or, if you allow directly logging in as root through SSH you could use a SCP/SFTP client to upload all the images as root. The files will be root owned then, so you'll either have to correct that afterwards (might be a lot of work if done manually) or not care about that.

Thanks for the idea. I was wondering if something like that would be easily accomplished with a .htaccess file.

Something like what?

I've done something similar using symlinks... just upload the image into one of the domains and use symlinks in each of the others to point to that directory.
