# 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/v20-en-us/parallels-ras-20-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/v20-en-us/parallels-ras-20-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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/v20-en-us/parallels-ras-20-administrators-guide/farm-and-sites/managing-administrator-accounts/adding-an-administrator-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
