Question What is the difference between options 'Access to the server over SSH' parameter in Plesk?

hello @FutureX ,

in case chroot access granted, user will be able to access only files in his/her web space directory.
in case shell granted with sh/bash/tcsh/etc - user will have access to the whole server's file system (like /home , /var/ , /tmp/ and many other)
so yes, if you really necessarry to grant shell access with very limited access and strong restrictions - chroot is your choice.

also, please have in view, that even you did not grant shell access - subscription users will have access to their files with FTP protocol.
so, they will be able to download/upload/modify their files inside web space.
 
Thanks for the info! The main reason I want to give SSH access is so users can use the WordPress CLI.
