Cloudi-Fi now enables greater flexibility and control over administrator security through Custom Password Policies. You can define unique password rules for different admin profiles, allowing for role-based security that adapts to your organizational needs.

Key Features

With custom admin password policies, you can now configure:

• Password complexity requirements
  (e.g., length, character types, history)

• Expiration rules
  Set periodic password change intervals

• Role-specific policies
  Apply different rules depending on admin responsibilities

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
  Enforce stronger authentication for sensitive roles

Prerequisites

Before configuring password policies, make sure you have:

1. Access to the Cloudi-Fi admin console
2. Edit Administrator Management rights

Default Password Policy

• Navigate to: Administrators > Policies

• A default policy is automatically created and applies to all administrators, unless overridden by a profile-specific policy.

• You can click on the default policy to:

  • View current settings

  • Edit complexity, expiration, and role-based requirements

  • Save changes for future enforcement (applied at the next password renewal)

Changes to the default policy take effect the next time an administrator resets or updates their password.

Admin-Profile Specific Policies

For enhanced security, you can create targeted policies for admin profiles handling sensitive tasks (e.g., user data access, network configuration).

How to Create a Profile-Specific Policy

1. Go to Administrators > Policies
2. Click Add New Policy
3. Configure the following:

Basic Information:

• Name – Provide a clear and descriptive name (e.g., Sensitive Data Admin Policy)

• Description (optional) – Add notes or context for future reference

Apply To:

• Select Admin Profile(s) – Choose the specific admin profile(s) this policy applies to

Policy Settings:

• Password Length – Minimum required characters

• Character Requirements:

  • Alphabetical (A–Z, a–z)

  • Uppercase and Lowercase

  • Digits (0–9)

  • Special Characters (!, @, #, etc.)

• Password History:

  • Must differ from the last password

  • Number of previous passwords to remember

• Expiration – Set the password validity duration (e.g., 60 or 90 days)

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Enforce for high-risk profiles

Important: When 2FA is enabled for a profile, each administrator in that profile must register
 a phone number in their account settings. OTPs will be sent to this number during login.

• Save the policy

All admins in the selected profile(s) will follow this new rule starting with their next password change.
