poweruser.exe: Power User View
By default,Plesk provides facilities to create and manage service plans, subscriptions, customers and resellers. If you do not need these functions and are going to use Plesk for own needs, such as hosting a company’s website or mail server, you can use Plesk in Power User view. In this view, you can create and manage own hosting accounts and perform server administration actions in a single Plesk.
Plesk can be switched to Power User view right after installation is completed, or later if it does not have customer or reseller accounts. Plesk can be switched back to Service Provider view any time.
Note: The ability to switch Plesk to Power User view right after installation is available since Plesk 10.2.
Use the poweruser utility to switch Plesk to Power User view and back.
