# Modifying an Administrator

The current administrator can modify the description and permission set of a non-default administrator group as required. When the administrator group has associated users, the permissions of these users will also be modified after the administrator group permission is modified. The modification of user permissions takes effect upon the next login.

#### Context

The three default administrator groups administrator, operator, and auditor are not allowed to modify.

- The passwords must meet the minimum complexity requirement. That is, the passwords must contain at least three of the following, including upper-case letters (A to Z), lower-case letters (a to z), digits (0 to 9), and special characters (such as !, #, $, and %).
- The passwords cannot be the same as the user name or its reverse.
- The administrator password must contain at least six characters.
- Keep passwords properly and change passwords periodically.

If you forget the password of the default administrator admin, contact technical support engineers.

#### Procedure

1. Choose System > System Administrators > Administrators.
2. Click corresponding to the administrator group to be modified.
3. On the Modify Administrator page, change the basic information about the administrator. Table 1 lists the parameters.
4. Change the administrator's permission, manageable resources, and IP address segments allowed to log in to the ATIC management center.

   - Click the Select Administrator Group tab and select the required administrator group in the administrator group list.

     When multiple administrator groups are selected, the permission of the administrator is the permission collection of all the selected administrator groups.

   - Click the Select Resource tab and select the manageable resources.

   - Click the Select Login Network Segment tab and select the IP address segment from which the administrator is allowed to log in to the ATIC management center.

   After an administrator's permission is modified, the permission takes effect only after the administrator re-logs in. However, the manageable resources take effect immediately after being modified without requiring administrator re-login.

5. Click OK.
