Plesk has two interface layouts — **Power User** view and **Service Provider** view. If your panel looks different from expected or you can't find certain features, switching views may help.

### Power User view

A simplified interface for web developers and single-account users. Shows a flat list of **Websites & Domains** with no separate Customers or Resellers section. Best if you manage your own sites and don't resell hosting.

### Service Provider view

The full interface for hosting providers and resellers. Includes **Customers**, **Resellers**, **Subscriptions**, and **Service Plans** in the sidebar. Use this if you manage websites for multiple clients.

### How to tell which view you're using

- **Power User:** Sidebar shows Websites & Domains, Mail, Applications, Files. No Customers section.
- **Service Provider:** Sidebar includes Customers, Domains, Subscriptions, Service Plans.

### Method 1: Switch via the Plesk interface

1. Log in to **Plesk** as administrator.
2. Click **Change View** at the bottom-left corner.
3. Select **Service Provider view** or **Power User view**.

### Method 2: Switch via Tools & Settings

1. Go to **Tools & Settings**.
2. Under **Plesk Appearance**, click **Interface Management**.
3. Select your preferred view and click **OK**.

### Method 3: Switch via SSH

1. Connect via **SSH** as **root**.
2. Power User view: `plesk bin poweruser --on`
3. Service Provider view: `plesk bin poweruser --off`

### Important notes

- Switching views does **not** delete any data or settings — it only changes the interface layout.
- You **cannot switch to Power User** if customer or reseller accounts exist. Remove them first or stay in Service Provider view.
- In Power User view, only subscriptions owned by the admin are visible. Customer subscriptions won't appear.
- The view switch only applies to the **administrator account**.
- Only **Web Pro** and **Web Host** editions support both views.

### Troubleshooting

- **"Change View" missing:** Your Plesk edition may not support it. Check your licence under **Tools & Settings** → **License Management**.
- **Cannot switch to Power User:** You have existing customer/reseller accounts that must be removed first.
- **Domains disappeared after switching:** Switch back to Service Provider view — Power User only shows admin-owned subscriptions.
- **Interface looks broken:** Clear your browser cache and reload, or try an incognito window.
