I am using Plesk to administrate my server.
The first thing I want to do is add my domain.
So I click "Add Domain".
Plesk suggests that I use the user account "root".
I go ahead and try to use this.
Now when I want to save my settings, Plesk tells me that "User account root already exists."
Why can Plesk not use an existing account?
You have to add a new username associated with the newly created webspace/domain.

Just created a new SQL database in Azure Portal, called 'mydatabase'. It automatically created a SQL login called 'mydatabaseweb' when the datasbe was created. Problem is, I can't seem to locate the password for this new login. Anyone know where this thing is? Or how to manage the logins via the portal?
Answer to this one here: Password reset for Azure database
Still not entirely certain how I missed that in the first place :/
So, I've created a user in Plesk 11, and assigned him a role (custom role that a created for him) with only database access.
But this new user has access to all my databases, I want to restrict his access to a specific one.
How can I do this please ?
Thank you.
Unfortunately it's impossible(at least I don't know how) in scope of one subscription(even through direct url), it's possible to just bind this user to one exact subscription and move all other databases in another subscription.
You can add this as feature request to https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions
Roles give administrative rights to users so Plesk is doing exactly what it was told to do.
Granting administrative DB permissions however does not create a mysql user but a panel user who can manage the databases of the subscriptions you gave him access to ("all" or individually selected).
If you see all databases in phpMyAdmin you are not logged in as this user but clicked a "webadmin" link from within plesk which uses a login-token for the matching db user created for this subscription/database or even the admin (Tools & Settings-> Applications & Databases -> Database Servers -> Servername -> Databases) -> "Webadmin" in "Tools" section.
If you see all databases of all subscriptions in Plesk Panel you selected "all" in the "access subscriptions" field when creating the user.
Defining a custom role as an approach for giving access to only one database does not make sense as there is no need for administrative rights (he only could delete his database).
If your intention was to create just a mysql user for a specific database in a specific subscription open subscriber's control panel when logged in as admin user, click "databases", select tab "users", click "add new database user" and select which databases this new user should have access to. done.
Unfortunately for me it is not clear
where your user sees all the databases
if "all" really is all of them (like system dbs, too)
if "access" means control panel or mysql/phpmyadmin
However, I hope i covered all contingencies.
I have created a new SQL Server on Azure, and am trying to sign into their web based Management area.
What credentials do I need to provide?
I created the Database using the Quick Create wizard, and was never asked for a password.
I have tried my Windows Live username and password, this doesn't work. I have also tried the username specified in the connection string you get from Azure with and without the #foo you get afterwards, along with my Live ID password, neither of these work either.
I can't see anything in the portal providing a password.
Am I missing something?
Go to the DB tab and select the DB server that was auto-created. Will have some random letters and numbers as a name.
On the dashboard of the server you should be able to reset the administrator password. On that page it should also give you the administrator login username.
Hope that helps,
Henry
edit: one other thing, you need to add your IP address as a management address. You can do this by going to the DB tab and clicking MANAGE at the bottom, should prompt you to add your IP to the firewall
Ok so I have no idea about the database created by the wizard, but if you go through the 'Custom Create' route on Azure, you have the opportunity to supply your own Username and Password, and these do work.
I don't seem to have the Site settings option on my SSRS instance.
I have looked at numerous online suggestions including:

When I try to access the report server url using IE as Run As Administrator, I get a login box everytime.
From reading numerous articles it sounds like I need to the System Administrator in SSRS to view the option but have no idea how to add a user to this system role. I have so far created New Role using Folder --> Settings for the everyone group and that has at least given me access to the reports and let me publish reports etc.
Other than reinstalling SSRS, any suggestions?
It sounds like you're folder/object level permission; you need to set the site permissions, too.
To do this you'll need to log in as a server administrator; by default only the BUILTIN\Administrators group have the System Administrator role in a Report Server.
Once you have logged into Report Manager as a server administrator, click on Site Settings -> Security and add whatever groups/users required:
See Granting Permissions on a Report Server.
At the site level, on the Site Settings page in Report Manager, create
a system-level role assignment for each user and group using the
predefined roles System User and System Administrator.
If you have UAC enabled you will need to run IE with Run As Administrator; if IE is prompting you for credentials you can suppress this by making sure User Authentication is set correctly in Internet Options -> Security Settings; set it to something like Automatic logon with current user name and password.
If u don't find site settings option ie home page displays only home,subscription & help,then u run IE as administrator .Go to internet options,tools,security,custom levels,under user authentication
make automatic login user & password yes
- restart the pc
u'll get the site settings,folder settings tab
In DotNetNuke, I have added multiple URL aliases for a portal. The first one added is the default alias which cannot be removed or changed.
Of course I can do this in the Portal alias table in the database directly (using Management Studio), but people who have no access can't. Is there a way? It seems like such an obvious need - but I couldn't find anything.
You can edit the Portal Aliases directly in DotNetNuke.
As Admin select Admin|Site Settings, Advanced, Portal Alises to view/edit the values for that portal.
As Host, select Host|Portals, edit any portal, Advanced, Portal Aliases to view/edit any portal.
Portal aliases do not change very often but you can easily assign a user to the administrators role if they really need access. The reason you can't modify the current portalalias is that you would disable your own access to the portal.
Note that modifying the portalalias through SSMS may break working DNN portals.
Also note the application should be restarted to reflect portal alias changes (via IIS Manager or editing web.config). You must be logged in as a host to use host settings to restart the application via DotNetNuke.
