Plesk provides GUI access to the current security settings of Windows
objects that it manages. You can browse and modify hosted objects
security settings through Customer Panel. User account permissions on
hosted objects can be viewed and edited by any Plesk user authorized to
access hosted objects through Plesk.
Note: Security settings for some critical folders on hosting accounts are
not allowed to be changed through Plesk to prevent potential security
problems or website malfunction that may be caused by inadvertent
user interference with the security settings.
For example, to browse the user permissions for the /httpdocs
directory on domain example.com, follow these steps:
-

example.com. -

icon corresponding to the /httpdocs
directory > Change Permissions. The list of Windows user accounts
is displayed on the left under Group or user names. By default,
the upper entry in the user account list is highlighted. On the
right, the access permissions for the highlighted user account are
displayed. -
Click on the user account or user group name in the list to view the
assigned permissions.Note: To view the advanced security settings, click Advanced.
