In Plesk, you can change the view mode to tailor the interface to your preferences. This allows you to switch between different views depending on your needs, such as a "Power User" view for more advanced users or a "Service Provider" view for those managing multiple accounts.
Here’s how you can change the view mode in Plesk:
Step 1: Log in to Plesk
- Open your web browser and navigate to your Plesk login page:
- Example:
https://yourdomain.com:8443orhttps://your-server-ip:8443.
- Example:
- Enter your username and password, then click Log In.
Step 2: Access the User Profile
- Once you’re logged in to Plesk, look for your username or account name in the top-right corner of the interface.
- Click on your username or account name to open the user profile menu.
Step 3: Change the View Mode
-
In the dropdown menu, select Profile.
-
Under the Preferences tab, you will find an option to change the View Mode.
- You will typically have the following options:
- Service Provider (Admin View): This view is ideal for system administrators who manage multiple accounts and resources. It provides access to advanced server settings, billing, and user management features.
- Power User (Default View): This is the standard view mode designed for users who manage their own website and domains. It includes all basic features like domain management, email settings, and web hosting tools.
- Customer View: This is a simplified version of Plesk, typically used by end customers or clients, focusing on their own website and email management.
- You will typically have the following options:
-
Select the view mode that best suits your needs.
- Example: If you're an administrator, you may prefer the Service Provider view, while a website owner may prefer the Power User or Customer View.
-
After selecting the desired view mode, click OK to apply the changes.
Step 4: Refresh or Log Out
- After changing the view mode, Plesk will automatically refresh and switch to the new view.
- You may want to log out and log back in if the changes do not take effect immediately.
Step 5: Verify the View Mode
- Once the view is changed, you’ll notice the interface will adjust according to the selected mode.
- Service Provider View will show more server-level settings and user management tools.
- Power User View will be focused on domain, email, and website management.
- Customer View will be more streamlined and focused on the customer’s individual services.
Additional Tips
- Switching Back: You can switch back to your original view mode at any time by following the same steps.
- Default View: If you’re unsure about which view mode to select, the Power User view is typically the best choice for most website administrators, as it balances ease of use with access to key hosting features.
- Role-Specific Views: If you're managing Plesk as an administrator for clients, you may switch between views depending on whether you're managing your own resources or those of your clients.
By following these simple steps, you can easily change the view mode in Plesk to customize your user experience. Whether you're an administrator, power user, or client, changing the view mode allows you to work more efficiently with the features you use most.
