Enforce subdomain ownership: not working with subdomains

Community Support Users
1

I have plenty of developers, working solo on simultaneous projects with WordPress.

Each of the developers has the own dev* account. E.g. dev1, dev2, etc.

For each developer, I have created web domain s*.stage.domain.com. E.g. s1.stage…, s2.stage…, etc.

I wanted to limit developers to create only their own s.stage subdomains, like project1.s1.stage.domain.com, so the developer could not create the project under mask of another developer. E.g. dev1 could create only .s1.stage… subdomains.

But it is not working.

as a dev3, I can create project.s2.stage, while s2.stage web domain exists under dev2 account.

Hellos.

Go to server settings (cogwheel) > configure > click security > policies > enforce subdomain ownership (set to YES).

it is enabled, and it is fresh install

How were domains created in each of the user. Also, maybe show what is the current setup?

Anything shows in logs?

Ohh, and try to set enforce to NO, save, and then reset to Yes, save. See if this helps.

set it to no, yes is the default.

But OP wants to enforce sub-domain ownership. Or am I reading it incorrectly?

Ah, got it, not sure but enforce ownership targets mainly the domain itself and not subdomains.

Manually, I’ve created a web domain s*.stage.domain.com for each user dev*.

By this, I wanted to protect subdomains *.s*.stage.domain.com for each user.

Anything shows in logs?

Please, advise me on where to check it.

Also, tried disabling and re-enabling the option enforce subdomain ownership - didn’t work.

Ye, seems like. Is there any option to create user field “domain mask” to whitelist allowed domains?

Try with CLI: CLI Reference | Hestia Control Panel

v-delete-web-domain-allow-users admin ``admin.com

Also, a related (probably) issue: Problem with subdomain

v-delete-web-domain-allow-users admin ``admin.com

Tested, didn’t work.

Okay, seems some issues with your end. Provide some logs please. Will help.

BTW: what is your hestia version?

As @Raphael already said, Hestia doesn’t support what you want to do.
