Question Prevent default creation of Plesk user when creating mailbox

[Kaspar]

Currently when creating a mailbox in Plesk the option "Can be used to log in to Plesk" is checked by default. Which for me isn't always preferable.



Does anyone know if there is any setting to not have this option checked by default? An thus prevent the default creation of a Plesk user when creating a mailbox.

Hello,
there is no known possibility to set it as default disabled in plesk, but you can run it via CLI:

plesk bin mail --create [email protected] -passwd "#_123244hjhdsf" -cp-access false -mailbox true

In fact, maybe you could use the Event Manager in Plesk: Create an event for "Mail account created"

Configure this event to execute plesk bin mail -u ${NEW_EMAIL} -cp-access false

Not sure if this will work, I haven't used Event Manager in a long time but may you'll have a look at the documentation:

Event Handlers

Certain actions in Plesk, such as: Creating a customer account Removing an IP address Updating the hosting settings ...

and

Event Parameters Passed by Event Handlers

Thnx @m3lezZ and @Monty, much apricated. However your suggestions will disable the mailbox user as Plesk user after it's already created. I am looking for an option to prevent a Plesk user being made in the first place when a new mailbox is created trough the GUI as a default. In some cases it might still be useful to have a mailbox user double as a Plesk user. So rather have this option checked by explicit choice of the user, not by default.

As a solution I've added this peace of Javascript to Plesk (in case anyone is interested).

<script>
    let loginAsUser = document.getElementById("general-generalSection-loginAsUser");
    loginAsUser ? loginAsUser.checked = false : false;
</script>

Download the help extension from this post, upload to it your server. Add to javascript snippet to the global.js file. I am not sure if this javascript snippet works though.

How to keep the "Can be used to log in to Plesk" option unchecked when creating an email in Plesk.

First, enable the "extension upload" permission
1. https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377006907031-How-to-edit-Plesk-panel-ini
2. Resolved - Upload Extension button is missing in My Extensions

Then, upload this extension Resolved - How to hide shutdown link in settings?

Then, open your SSH terminal and edit this file

nano /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/modules/global/global.js

Then add the following code and save it

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
const checkbox = document.querySelector(
'input#general-generalSection-loginAsUser[inlinedescription=" "]'
);

if (checkbox && checkbox.checked) {
checkbox.checked = false;
checkbox.removeAttribute('checked');
}
});

If anyone wants to disable completely, then use this JS code

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
const checkbox = document.getElementById('general-generalSection-loginAsUser');
if (checkbox) {
checkbox.checked = false;
checkbox.removeAttribute('checked');
checkbox.disabled = true;
checkbox.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
}
});
