How do I create additional Users in Plesk? And How do I set User/Account (File ) Permissions?

To create a user account:

Step 1:

Log in to your Rebel account, then select "Products" in the top-left corner. In the top toolbar, you will see "Hosting”. Please select this. 

Step 2:

Click on the purple button displaying "Control Panel". This will open the Plesk Hosting OS in a new tab.

Step 3:

On the left side menu, select "Users".

Step 4: 

Select "Create User Account". 

Step 5:

Specify the following:

• Contact name.
• Email address (optional) The email address will be used as a user name for logging in to Plesk, unless you specify another name in the Username box. To create an email address for the user, type the desired left part of the address which goes before the @ sign, and, if you have a number of domains on your account, select the domain name under which the email address should be created. 
• External email address (optional). Specify an email that will be used to reset the password if the user loses access to their primary email address.
• User role. Select the required user role from the menu.
• Access to subscriptions. Allow a user to access only a specified subscription. The All value grants them access to all subscriptions within your customer account. Please note: you can only provide a user access to the primary domain subscription or all subscriptions on the hosting panel.
• Username. The user name for access to Plesk.
• Password. The password for access to Plesk.

Only active users can access Plesk. To make the user account active right after its creation, keep the User is active checkbox selected.

If you specified an external email address, you can also make the user account inactive until the user confirms the account. To do so, select the Activate account by email checkbox. The user will then receive the activation email in the external email address.

Step 6:

Click "OK" to save changes and finish creating user.

To change user account properties or Set User/Account (file) Permissions:

Step 1:

On the left side menu, select "Users".

Step 2:

Click directly on the user/contact name.

You will be presented with a list of permissions. Select the edit button to change any necessary permissions.
