  • 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.

WPT Smart Update - User Purchase Gives Extension Installation Error

FutureX

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
AlmaLinux 8.6 (Sky Tiger)
Plesk version and microupdate number
Version 18.0.45 Update #2
I just logged in as a customer and attempted to purchase Smart Update as the customer and was shown this error:

You do not have permission to install extensions. Please contact your hosting provider.

I looked through the permissions and don't see any place to allow it for a customer

Thanks!
 
It is correct behaviour, extensions can be installed only by Plesk admin.
So, purchase it under an admin account.
 
But the customer is shown the switch to activate Smart Updates. Then they see the "This is a Premium Feature" and a Purchase button. When the customer clicks "Purchase" they see the error that they don't have permission to install extensions. It looks like a mistake/bug to the customer. They should be able to complete their purchase and activate Smart Updates. If they have to then open a support ticket and I have to purchase it for them and bill them for it, it just creates a lot of wasted motion/time.
 
Looks like a bug, we will improve this scenario in near time.

Thanks for flagging.
