# Managing users in Plesk
> Learn to create and manage Plesk user accounts to control website access.
This article describes how to create and manage users for a Plesk account. User accounts enable you to grant access to specific people. These people can then access Plesk to manage websites, applications, or e-mail under your domains.
Plesk is no longer included with new hosting.com plans, but it is still available on legacy Managed WordPress accounts. You can install Plesk manually on unmanaged VPS and Dedicated servers.
