Enabling account protection from unauthorized modification

You can enable an additional option to protect a user account from unauthorized modification. If this option is enabled, modifying user account settings requires authorization of the user by using a one-time security code for two-step verification.

You can enable or disable account protection and modify settings of the protected user account if the following conditions are met:

• Two-step verification is enabled for all users and is configured for your account.
• Your account has the Modify object ACLs right in the General features: User permissions functional area.

To enable or disable account protection from unauthorized modification:

1. In the main menu, go to Users & roles → Users & groups, and then select the Users tab.
2. Click the name of the internal user account for which you want to specify account protection from unauthorized modification.
3. In the user settings window that opens, select the Authentication security tab.
4. On the Authentication security tab, select the Request authentication to verify permission to modify user accounts option if you want to request a one-time security code for two-step verification every time when account settings are changed or modified.

   If two-step verification is disabled for all users, the Request authentication to verify permission to modify user accounts option will be ignored.

   To disable account protection from unauthorized modification, select the Allow users to modify this account without additional authentication option.

5. Click the Save button.
