• 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.

Question Will disabling Ubuntu SSH root login affect Plesk FTP/SSH Terminal?

Stupidscript

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.62
We have users who only use Plesk and users who only use SSH tools (i.e. PuTTY, Termius, WinSCP, etc.) for command line and SFTP access.
We have set up SSH key pairs for those non-Plesk users.
We would like now to disable root SSH login.
I see that Plesk has its own privileged user on these Ubuntu Linux systems.
Will we affect Plesk in ANY way if we disable root SSH (password) login?
Plesk FTP and SSH Terminal MUST continue to functions as they always have.
Thank you in advance for your guidance.
