Separate instances of security metadata files exist for all hosting
accounts created in Plesk - domains and web user hosting accounts. The
files are located in the root folders of corresponding hosting accounts
and contain security rules for all objects manageable by the authorized
hosting account.
The following security metadata files are used by Plesk to administer
security of hosted content for different hosting accounts:
-
%plesk_vhosts%<domain root path>.security(domains) -
%plesk_vhosts%<domain root path>.Web.<Web user name>.security
(web users)
Note: Exercise caution when changing hosting security rules by editing
security metadata files. Follow recommendations in the section
Customizing Hosting Security to avoid potential
problems in administering hosting security policy in Plesk.
