  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Subdomain Ownership in Plesk 10

I'm now running Plesk 10.0.1 on Linux 2.6.9-023stab052.4-smp

In Plesk 8 and 9, I had subdomains under each domain, all owned by their respective FTP user. Example:

domain.com is owned by usera
subdomain.domain.com is owned by userb

Since updating to Plesk 10, EVERYTHING under domain.com is owned by usera, and attempts to chown the subdomain back to userb do nothing whatsoever.

Is there a way to change this? I use subdomains for more than webhosting, and the applications need to be owned by the correct user.

Thanks,
 
Having looked at this more, I see that this upgrade has given all the additional FTP accounts in a subscription the same User number as the main ftp account.

Am I wrong in thinking this gives the FTP users that were set up for the subdomain access to modify files owned by the primary user? I mean, they may not have access via FTP, but if they need SSH access, they could affect any file owned by any of the ftp users that are assigned to the same number.

Is there a way to change this configuration?
 
i am not shure but i think additional FTP users cant get ssh access?
 
Under the old system, you could change that manually, though. And you still can now, but they're not their own account in the system anymore. As I said in my initial post, I use subdomains for game hosting accounts, for people who don't have their own domain name. Under the old system, they had their own UID, and had ownership of their own subdomain directories.

With the new system, I don't see a way to do this. I like using plesk to manage my user accounts and workspaces, but under the new model, that doesn't seem possible. I'm just wondering if there's a workaround.
 
I've got the same issue. It appears that all users have the same permissions as the main account login. But I need some of the users to have limited access. How do I set permission settings for users for specific subdomains?
