Some New Features on Plesk 8

Brand-new Desktop interface option - Plesk 8 boasts quick and efficient task-oriented desktop, while retaining the ability to use old, traditional interface, and offering the options of switching between old and new interfaces, and even using both at the same time. Now administrators have quick access to major management functions and they have immediate access to mission critical information and statistics. The task-oriented design also allows administrators to create "favorites" and "shortcuts".

Interface Control Management - This feature enables Plesk administrators to easily and efficiently manage the visibility of the control panel buttons. Plesk administrators have the flexibility to maintain a simpler, cleaner interface for end-users by hiding the controls for features that are not installed from Plesk users. Plesk 8 introduces the concept of client interface templates, which eliminates the need to adjust interface settings on a per-client basis. This can considerably speed up your client interface management.

There are three customer login levels in Plesk with each level having its appropriate roles and responsibilities:

• Client/Reseller - Top tier login account where the users are given domain creation rights from the System Administrator. Clients can administer groups of domains using a single login.
• Domain Owner - Second tier individual domain owner accounts with predetermined permission sets and interface for single domain administration.
• Mail User - This is the third tier individual mail account which allows the user to log in to their own private interface and manage passwords, spam filters, anti-virus settings and much more.
