Appendix C. Permissions for Operations in Service Templates

Name	Description
Hosting settings management	If the permission to change hosting settings is granted, customers will be able to switch on and off SSL support, support for programming and scripting languages, custom error documents, and web server settings. Any changes to these settings that you specify in a service template will not override the settings that customers defined for their own subscriptions.
PHP version and handler management, common PHP settings management	These allow users to adjust PHP settings individually for each website in their subscriptions.
Data backup and restoration using the server storage	This allows users to back up and restore their websites, and use the storage on the service node for keeping backups.
Data backup and restoration using a personal FTP storage	This allows users to back up and restore their websites, and use external FTP servers for storing their backups.
Web statistics management	This allows users to select which web statistics engine should be used (Webalizer or AWStats), and whether reports should be accessible via a specific password-protected directory.
Access to Application Catalog	This provides users with access to a number of prepackaged applications that can be installed on websites. These applications will work only if you switch on the PHP support. You can view available applications and manage them in Provider Panel > Services > WebHosting Plesk > Service Nodes tab > Tools and Settings (in the Actions column) > Application Vault.
Access to the WordPress Toolkit	This allows users to manage their WordPress instances using the WordPress Toolkit.
Management of the WordPress Toolkit security options	This allows users to manage the WordPress Toolkit security options for their WordPress instances.
Management of access to the server over SSH (Linux hosting)	This allows users to access the server shell over SSH under their system user account. It also enables users to set up such hosting parameter as SSH access to the server console under the subscription's system user.
Management of access to the server over Remote Desktop (Windows hosting)	This allows users to access the hosting service node via the Remote Desktop protocol.
Scheduler management	This allows users to run scripts or utilities on schedule.
Anonymous FTP management	This enables users to set up a directory shared over the FTP protocol and make it available to anonymous users. To do this, a subscription must reside on a dedicated IP address.
Log rotation management	This allows users to adjust the cleanup of processed log files for their sites and to remove log files.
Additional FTP accounts management	This allows users to manage FTP accounts for accessing the subscription's files and directories.
Hosting performance settings management	This allows users to adjust PHP performance settings and set up the limits on bandwidth usage and number of connections to their websites.
Disk quota management	This allows users to set up the hard quota on disk space used by the hosting account.
Password-protected directories management	This specifies whether users can create password-protected directories.
IIS application pool management (Only on Windows hosting)	This provides users with a dedicated IIS application pool and the means to manage it: enable or disable it, and set up the maximum amount of CPU power that the pool may use.
Additional write/modify permissions management (Only on Windows hosting)	This enables users to switch on and off the hosting setting called Additional write/modify permissions. These permissions are required, for example, if users’ web applications use a file-based database (such as Jet) located in the root of httpdocs or httpsdocs directory.
