Password control configuration task list
The password control functions can be configured in several views, and different views support different
functions. The settings configured in different views or for different objects have different application
ranges and different priorities:
• Global settings in system view apply to all local user passwords and super passwords.
• Settings in user group view apply to the passwords of all local users in the user group.
• Settings in local user view apply to only the password of the local user.
• Settings for super passwords apply to only super passwords.
The four types of settings have different priorities:
• For local user passwords, the settings with a smaller application range have a higher priority.
• For super passwords, the settings configured specifically for super passwords, if any, override those
configured in system view.

individually after the password control feature is enabled globally. These functions include:
• Password aging
• Minimum password length
• Password history
• Password composition checking
You must enable a function for its relevant configurations to take effect.
