... [<option_N> [<param>]]

Example

The following command sets the administrator’s interface language to German.

plesk bin admin --update -locale -de_DE

Commands

Command Parameter Description Example
--update or -u   Updates the Plesk administrator’s server preferences.

To set the interface language to German:

plesk bin admin --update -locale -de_DE

or

plesk bin admin -u -locale -de_DE

--info or -i   Displays the Plesk administrator’s personal information and preferences.

To view the Plesk administrator’s personal information and preferences:

plesk bin admin --info

or

plesk bin admin -i

--set-admin-password or -p  

Updates the Plesk administrator’s password.

The synonym is --set-password.

To change the Plesk administrator’s password to mypassword:

plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd 'mypassword' -encrypted-password

or

plesk bin admin --set-password -passwd 'mypassword' -encrypted-password

--set-password   Updates the Plesk administrator’s password. The synonym is --set-admin-password.

--get-login-link  

Generate a one-time login link for the Plesk administrator or for a specified user (if used with the -user option).

Using the admin utility with this command is equivalent to using the plesk login command (find more information at Plesk Utility).

Note: In Plesk Onyx, the --show-password command was dropped for security reasons. To log in to Plesk as an administrator, use one-time login links generated with the -get-login-link command. Alternatively, you can run an XML API request to generate a session token for an administrator and use it in scripts for automatic logging in to Plesk (find more information in the Advanced Administration Guide).

Note: Use of the -passwd option is not recommended. Passing passwords through CLI as parameters of the -passwd option may potentially compromise the system’s security as command line can be observed by other users of the system. It is more secure to pass passwords through the environment variables. You can transfer non-encrypted passwords by using environment variable PSA_PASSWORD.

Similarly, you can transfer encrypted passwords through the environment variable PSA_CRYPTED_PASSWORD.
