Maintaining proper user permissions on Windows objects on server disks
is necessary to ensure the maximum security of Plesk-managed servers
while enabling full functionality of hosted content. Misconfiguration of
object security settings may result in unavailability of hosted content.
By using the Plesk reconfigurator utility, you can restore disk security
settings based on the security rules specified in the
DiskSecurity.xml file and other XML files found in the
%plesk_dir%etcDiskSecurity directory.
Note: You can change the disk security rules in the XML files found in the
%plesk_dir%etcDiskSecurity directory as desired before running
the Reconfigurator. For more information about Plesk security
policies and configuring security on Plesk-managed servers, see
Administering Windows Obejcts Security on Plesk-managed
Servers.
To restore the disk user permissions according to the Plesk’s
security metadata files, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Plesk-managed server as a user with administrator
rights by using Remote Desktop. - In the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Plesk >
Plesk Reconfigurator. The Reconfigurator application window
opens. - Select the Correct disk permissions option.
- Using check boxes in the Volume column, select the drives for
which you want to restore the user permissions. - Click Set to set the correct permissions for the selected drives.
This operation may take some time.
