Please follow below steps to set the file permission and directory permission in the Plesk 10.
1. If you have many hosting packages and have access to some of the web space attached with your account, in the Subscription menu at the top of the screen; select the required web space.
2. Go to the Websites & Domains tab > File Manager.
3. Find the file or directory for which you want to set access permissions, and click the corresponding icon.
4. Now you have to do the following option:
To make the file or folder inherit permissions from a parent folder (if it does not), select the checkbox
Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here.
To make the files and folders, which are contained in this folder, inherit the folder permissions you define, select the checkbox Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects.
To change or remove permissions from a group or a user, click the required name in the Group or user names list. If the group or user is not listed in the Group or user names list, select the required user or group name from the menu located above the list and click the user/group appears in the list. Select it.
To allow or deny permissions to a selected group/user, select the Allow or Deny checkboxes corresponding to permissions listed under Permissions for <user/group name>. If the checkboxes in Allow or Deny columns are shown in grey, it means that the corresponding permissions are inherited from a parent folder.
To deny the permissions, which are inherited from a parent object as allowed, select the required checkboxes under Deny. This will override inherited permissions for this file/folder.
To allow the permissions, which are inherited from a parent object as denied, clear the
Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects.
Include these with entries explicitly defined here checkbox: this removes the inherited permissions. Then select the required checkboxes under Allow and Deny.
To remove access permissions from a group or user, select the required name in the Group or user names list and click the icon next to it.
5. If you need advanced fine-tuning of permissions, click the Advanced button, and do the following:
To create a permission entry for a group or user, select the required name from the Group or user names list and click.
To set or change file/folder permissions for a group or user, select the required name from the Group or user names list, select the required Allow and Deny checkboxes corresponding to permissions listed under Permissions for <user/group name>.
To remove a permission entry for a group or user, select the required name from the Group or user names list and click.
To make child objects of a folder inherit its permissions defined under Permissions for <user/group name>, select the Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects checkbox, and select checkboxes in the Apply to list which correspond to the objects that must inherit the permissions.
6. Click OK.
