# admin: Administration Panel Preferences

The `admin` utility is used for managing administrator’s interface preferences.

## Usage

    admin <command> [
    <option_1> [<param>]
    [<option_2> [<param>]]
    ... [<option_N> [<param>]]

## Example

The following command sets the administrator’s interface language to German.

    plesk bin admin --update -locale -de_DE

## Commands

Command | Parameter | Description | Example
--- | --- | --- | ---
`--update` or `-u` |  | Updates the Plesk administrator’s server preferences. | To set the interface language to German:
    plesk bin admin --update -locale -de_DE
or
    plesk bin admin -u -locale -de_DE
`--info` or `-i` |  | Displays the Plesk administrator’s personal information and preferences. | To view the Plesk administrator’s personal information and preferences:
    plesk bin admin --info
or
    plesk bin admin -i
`--set-admin-password or -p` |  | Updates the Plesk administrator’s password. The synonym is `--set-password`. | To change the Plesk administrator’s password to mypassword:
    plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd 'mypassword' -encrypted-password
or
    plesk bin admin --set-password -passwd 'mypassword' -encrypted-password
`--set-password` |  | Updates the Plesk administrator’s password. The synonym is `--set-admin-password`. |
`--xml-info` or `-xi` |  | Displays the Plesk administrator’s personal information and preferences in the XML format. | To view the Plesk administrator’s personal information and preferences in the XML format:

`--get-login-link` |  | Generate a one-time login link for the Plesk administrator or for a specified user (if used with the `-user` option). Using the `admin` utility with this command is equivalent to using the `plesk login` command (find more information at Plesk Utility). | To generate a one-time relative login link for the Plesk administrator:
    plesk bin admin --get-login-link -relative-url
`--help` or `-h` |  | Displays help page on the use of the utility. | To view help page on the use of the `admin` utility:
    plesk bin admin --help
or

Note

In Plesk Onyx, the `--show-password` command was dropped for security reasons. To log in to Plesk as an administrator, use one-time login links generated with the `-get-login-link` command. Alternatively, you can run an XML API request to generate a session token for an administrator and use it in scripts for automatic logging in to Plesk (find more information in the Advanced Administration Guide).

Note

Use of the `-passwd` option is not recommended. Passing passwords through CLI as parameters of the `-passwd` option may potentially compromise the system’s security as command line can be observed by other users of the system. It is more secure to pass passwords through the environment variables. You can transfer non-encrypted passwords by using environment variable `PSA_PASSWORD`.

Similarly, you can transfer encrypted passwords through the environment variable `PSA_CRYPTED_PASSWORD`.
