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.
