Administrators with login credentials wield significant control over a server. It is crucial to prioritize the security of admin accounts. In terms of security measures, Plesk allows the restriction of administrator access to a specific IP address, effectively preventing unauthorized access from remote locations.
1. Sign in to Plesk.
2. Navigate to Tools & Settings > IP Access Restriction Management (under Security).
3. Click on Settings.
4. Choose the appropriate option for your needs and Click OK:
-
Allowed, excluding the networks in the list: Users with IP addresses on the list cannot log in as Plesk or Additional Plesk Administrators.
-
Denied from the networks that are not listed: Only users with IP addresses on the list can log in as Plesk or Additional Plesk Administrators.
5. Click "Add Network" to include an IP address based on your chosen option.
This process allows you to restrict IP addresses for administrator access in Plesk.
