Modifying a Super Administrator

Context

• Super administrators and other administrators can only change their own passwords but cannot change the passwords of other users. Only super administrators can initialize passwords of non-super administrators.
• If a password has expired or been initialized, the system prompts you to change the password when you log in to DeviceManager.
• If a password is about to expire, the system prompts you to change the password after you log in to DeviceManager.
• To prevent security risks of the storage system due to password leakage, you need to modify the password upon initial login and periodically change the password.

Procedure

1. Choose Settings > User and Security > Users and Roles > User Management.
2. Select the desired user and click Modify.

   The Modify User page is displayed.

3. (Optional) Change the password of the current user. Select Modify Password, and set Old Password, New Password, and Confirm Password.
   

   • The password contains 8 to 16 characters.
   • The password must contain special characters and at least two of the following types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and digits. Special characters include !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^`{_|}~ and spaces.
   • A password cannot be the same as the user name or the reverse of the user name.
   • A password cannot be the same as the old password.

4. Change the login method of the current user. Select at least one of the login methods among DeviceManager, CLI, and RESTful.
5. Click OK.
