The preferred way to customize Windows object security settings is by
adding new or modifying existing Entry elements in a disk security
metadata file (for disk security) or in a hosting security metadata file
instance corresponding to the hosting account that is authorized to
access and manage the hosted objects (for hosting security). To learn
why other customization options are not recommended, see Administering
Object Security on Plesk-managed Server. For detailed
description of the Entry element contents, see General Security
Metadata Structure. For step-by-step instructions on
modifying the disk security metadata file, see Customizing Disk
Security. For step-by-step instructions on modifying the
hosting security metadata files, see Customizing Hosting
Security.
Note: Before making any changes to the security metadata, make a backup
copy of the metadata file that you want to modify. For information
why backing up security metadata files before modifying them is a
good idea, see the sections Customizing Disk Security
and Customizing Hosting Security.
