Restrictions and guidelines: Password control configuration

	IMPORTANT: To successfully enable the global password control feature and allow device management users to log in to the device, make sure the device have sufficient storage space.

The password control features can be configured in several different views, and different views support different features. The settings configured in different views or for different objects have the following application ranges:

• Settings for super passwords apply only to super passwords.

• Settings in local user view apply only to the password of the local user.

• Settings in user group view apply to the passwords of the local users in the user group if you do not configure password policies for these users in local user view.

• Global settings in system view apply to the passwords of the local users in all user groups if you do not configure password policies for these users in both local user view and user group view.

For local user passwords, the settings with a smaller application scope have higher priority.

When global password control is enabled, the device will not display the passwords configured for local users or save the passwords to the current configuration. When global password control is disabled, passwords configured for local users will be recovered in the current configuration. To display current configuration, see the display current-configuration command.
