Enable Global Permissions

Learn how to enable global access to the Flex Firewall Manager extension for all accounts in the Plesk panel by editing the panel.ini file.

Plesk Windows Server panel.ini Administrator

What are Global Permissions? When enabled, all domain accounts in Plesk will have access to the Flex Firewall Manager panel, not just the server administrator.

Locate the panel.ini file


The panel.ini file controls the advanced configuration options of the Plesk panel. Find it at the following path on your Windows server:

%plesk_dir%admin\conf\panel.ini

Connect via Remote Desktop (RDP) to the server to edit the file, or use the official Plesk extension Panel.ini Editor from the web panel itself.

panel.ini file in Plesk

Add the configuration code


Open the panel.ini file with a text editor (Notepad or similar) and add the following lines at the end of the file:

[ext-flex-firewall-manager]\nPermissionsGlobal=true;

Important: Make sure to add the [ext-flex-firewall-manager] block only once. If that section already exists in the file, simply add the line PermissionsGlobal=true; inside it.

Complete steps


1

Access the server

Connect via Remote Desktop (RDP) or open the Panel.ini Editor extension from Plesk.

2

Open the panel.ini file

Navigate to the path %plesk_dir%admin\conf\panel.ini and open it with Notepad or another text editor.

3

Add the configuration block

Copy and paste the [ext-flex-firewall-manager] block with PermissionsGlobal=true; at the end of the file.

4

Save and verify

Save the file and go back into the main menu of Flex Firewall Manager from the Plesk Administrator account to verify that the changes have been applied.

Done. Once the file is saved, all domain accounts in Plesk will see the Flex Firewall Manager extension available in their control panel.
