Assign a Credential Policy to an Administrator
----------------------------------------------

In general, an administrator will inherit a credential policy from the nearest
hierarchy node at or above the administrator's location that has a default
credential policy set. However, you can explicitly assign a credential policy to
an administrator.

Procedure
.........

1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.
2. Choose **User Management > Local Admins**.
3. Click the administrator that you want to assign a credential policy to.
4. Click the **Account Information** tab.
5. From the **Credential Policy** drop-down, choose a credential policy to assign.

   The menu contains all the credential policies available at or above the
   administrator's node in the hierarchy.

6. Click **Save**.

.. note::

   If an administrator is already logged on when the credential policy is changed,
   changes do not take effect until the administrator logs out and logs on again.
