Super Administrative Overrides

The super administrator (root) can define a set of controls that are never shown in Plesk control panel, even to a user with administrative privileges (and even in the Customization mode). To do this:

1. Customize the interface through the Plesk control panel.
2. Create an empty file with name root.controls.lock in /plesk_installation_directory/var/.
3. Login to the MySQL database server and retrieve the values describing the state of the hidden controls.

   # mysql -uadmin -Dpsa -p

   mysql> select page, control from itmpl_data;

   +-------------------------+-------------+

   | /server/server.php3 | key_info |

   +-------------------------+-------------+

4. Add these values to the /plesk_installation_directory/var/root.controls.lock file separating them with colons:

   /server/server.php3:key_info

5. Save the file.

The values you put into this file will override the customizations made through the control panel.
