# Adding an administrator account

To add an administrator account to the Parallels RAS Farm:

1. In the RAS Console, navigate to **Administration**> **Accounts**.
2. Click the **Tasks** drop-down list and choose **Add** (or click the **\[+]** icon).
3. The **Account Properties** dialog opens.
4. Click the **\[...]** button next to the **Name** field. In the **Select User or Group** dialog, select a user or a group.
5. Specify an email address and mobile phone number. Both fields are optional and are disabled if the account specified in the **Name** field is a group.
6. In the **Permissions** drop-down list select a role to assign to the administrator:
   * **Root administrator**. Grants the administrator full permissions to manage the Farm.
   * **Power administrator**. Grants the administrator full permissions by default but allows you to limit them if needed. To grant or deny specific permissions, click the **Change Permissions** button. For additional info, see [**Administrator Account Permissions**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/v19-en-us/parallels-ras-19-administrators-guide/farm-and-sites/managing-administrator-accounts/administrator-account-permissions.md).
   * **Custom administrator**. This role doesn't have any permissions by default and allows you grant very specific permissions for a particular category, area, or object in the RAS Console. See [**Administrator Account Permissions**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/v19-en-us/parallels-ras-19-administrators-guide/farm-and-sites/managing-administrator-accounts/administrator-account-permissions.md) for details.
7. In the **Receive system notifications via** drop-down list, select **Email** to send all system notifications to the specified email address, or select **None** to disable email system notifications for this account.
8. Click **OK** to add the new administrator account to the Farm.

**Modifying an administrator account**

To modify an account, select it in the list and click **Tasks** > **Properties**. This opens the **Account Properties** dialog where you can modify the account information.

To enable or disable an account, select or clear the **Enable account** option at the top of the **Account Properties** dialog.
