# Changing Password Policy

## Overview

The password policy can be configured by a user in the **Administrator** group. The **Administrator** can make the password requirements more or less strict depending on selected settings.

Centralized Account Management with Deployment Server

If your environment is connected to the Deployment Server, manage centralized user accounts from the Deployment Server. Administrators can create accounts on the Deployment Server and assign them to connected environments to keep access consistent across Development, QA, and other connected servers.

After an account is assigned to an environment, the account information synchronizes with that environment. Permissions specific to projects, folders, or other security settings must still be configured directly in the target environment where the user will work.
