Editing a user account

Kaspersky MLAD user accounts can be managed only by system administrators.

When you edit a user account, you can assign the desired role to the user. You can also block or unblock a user account. If an account is blocked, the user cannot log in to Kaspersky MLAD.

If the user was logged in when the account was blocked, the application session is active until one of the following conditions is met:

• The user logged out of the account.
• The application automatically terminated the connection session when the authentication token for the user account expired.
• Authentication tokens have been revoked for the user account.

To edit a user account:

1. In the lower-left corner of the page, click the  button.

   You will be taken to the administrator menu.

2. Select the Users section.
3. Click the Edit button in the row of the user account that you want to edit.

   The Edit user window opens.

4. If necessary, do the following:
   1. In the Last name field, enter a new last name for the user.
   2. In the First name field, enter a new first name for the user.
   3. In the Middle name field, enter a new middle name for the user.
5. In the Roles field, assign a role for the user account by selecting the corresponding check box.
6. If you need to change the password, enter the new password in the Password and Confirm password fields.

   The new password must meet the following requirements:

   • Must not match previously used passwords. The specific number of most recently used passwords that must not be reused is defined by the value of the Number of user passwords stored in history setting.
   • Must contain the minimum number of characters defined in the Minimum password length setting.
   • Must contain letters of the English alphabet, numerals and/or special characters in accordance with the password policy that was set when configuring the security settings.
7. If you want to block or unblock a user account, perform one of the following actions:
   • If you want to unblock a user account, set the State toggle switch to the Active position.
   • If you want to block a user account, set the State toggle switch to the Blocked position.

   Kaspersky MLAD does not allow you to delete user accounts. If you want to prevent a specific user account from accessing Kaspersky MLAD, it is recommended to block this user account.

8. Click the Save button.

The updated information about the user will be displayed in the table. If the password for a user account is changed, Kaspersky MLAD automatically terminates the user session of the user account whose password was changed.
