Plesk Onyx – Disabling a user

Overview

If you have created a secondary user with in your Plesk subscription (eg, for your web developer), leaving it enabled when it's not required can be a potential security risk.

2. Select the subscription the user is connected to.
3. Click on the users tab:
   
4. Click on the name of the user you wish to disable.
5. Click on "Change settings":
   
6. Untick "User is active" and then click "OK"
   
7. You have now successfully disabled the user.
