    We are an agency that builds and hosts WP sites for clients. We deliver sites with a number of plugins preinstalled for the clients that are critical to the sites design and functionality. How can we give our clients the ability to update these plugins without being able to deactivate or delete them?

    We still want them to be able to install, activate, deactivate and delete any plugins they choose to use. Is there an option for this type of control over certain plugins?

    Can anyone/Vladimir help please?

    You have to take into account that person who can install any plugin (PHP code) to the site can get superuser privileges in a minute. There is no sense to restrict such person via WordPress, as he can get access to any resource via PHP.

    If exclude ability to install new plugins, or security problem is not important in this case, as finally site owner is responsible for what he is doing, you can use URE Pro add-on, which allows to restrict the list of installed plugins which are available to the user for activation/deactivation.
