If you want to edit a user account, ensure that your account has the Modify object ACLs right in the General features: User permissions functional area.

To edit an internal user account in Kaspersky Security Center:

1. In the main menu, go to Users & roles → Users & groups, and then select the Users tab.
2. Click the name of the user account that you want to edit.
3. In the user settings window that opens, on the General tab, change the settings of the user account:
   • User status

     If necessary, switch the toggle button to Disabled to prohibit the user from connecting to the application. You can disable an account, for example, after an employee leaves the company.

   • Name
   • Full name
   • Description
   • Email address
   • Main phone
   • Password

     If necessary, you can set a new password for the user connection to Kaspersky Security Center as follows:

     1. Click the Change password button, and then set a new password for the user account.

        The password must comply with the following rules:

        • The password must be 8 to 256 characters long.
        • The password must contain characters from at least three of the groups listed below:
          • Uppercase letters (A-Z)
          • Lowercase letters (a-z)
          • Numbers (0-9)
          • Special characters (@ # $ % ^ & * - _ ! + = [ ] { } | : ' , . ? / \ ` ~ " ( ) ;)
        • The password must not contain any whitespaces, Unicode characters, or the combination of "." and "@", when "." is placed before "@".

        To see the entered password, click .

     2. If necessary, enable the User must change password at first sign-in option to force the password change at the next user authentication.
     3. If the user account is protected against unauthorized modification, you must confirm that you have the permissions to change this account. In the Account protection window, specify the credentials of the account that has the Modify object ACLs right in the General features: User permissions functional area.
4. On the Authentication security tab, you can specify the security settings for this account.
5. On the Groups tab, you can add the user to security groups.
6. On the Devices tab, you can assign devices to the user.
7. On the Roles tab, you can assign roles to the user.
8. Save the changes to complete the editing of the user account.

The updated user account appears in the list of users.
