Here is a brief explanation of the different login levels in Plesk

Administrator – The highest individual server level login which allows web hosting administrators to set up and manage all system items.

Client/Reseller – Second Level (Tier II) login account where the users are given domain creation rights from the System Administrator. Clients can administer to groups of domains using a single login.

Domain Owner – These third level (Tier III) individual domain owner accounts with predetermined permission sets and interface for single domain administration.

Mail User – The fourth level (Tier IV) 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.


The Administrator can create different templates & resellers from their interface. For instance in eUKhosts's case, our administrators would create different templates by the name of copper, bronze, silver & gold (the shared hosting plans). These templates are then assigned to the new users created as per the hosting package they signed up for. The same way resellers (clients) are also created through the Administrator interface. Plesk allows only one Administrator account to be created.

The client (resellers) in turn can create their own plesk templates( hosting plans), which they would be able to assign to the accounts they create from within their own plesk panel interface.
