Restricting Access to Control Panel

To alleviate security concerns it is recommended that you use a security measure, allowing to restrict access to control panel with administrator privileges from specific IP addresses. To do this:

Select the Server shortcut in the navigation pane.
Click the Access icon on the Server administration page.
Compile a list of IP addresses from which you want (or do not want) your Plesk managed server to be accessed:
- To add an item to the list, click Add New Network and specify the IP address and subnet mask, and click OK.
- To remove an item from the list, select the respective check box and click Remove Selected.
Select the policy that suits your needs:
- choose to allow connections from all addresses except for the listed networks, or
- deny connections from all addresses, except for the listed ones.
Click Set. The confirmation box will open, prompting you to confirm the mode change. Click Ok.

IMPORTANT

By default Plesk allows multiple simultaneous sessions for several users logged into the control panel using the same login and password combination. This feature might be useful when delegating the management functions to other users or in case if you accidentally close your browser without logging out, thus becoming unable to log in again until your sessions expires. Being the administrator you can choose to disable this capability.

To disable multiple sessions, follow these steps:

On the Server administration page click Preferences.
Deselect the Allow multiple sessions under administrator's login checkbox.
Click OK.
