  1. Navigate to Login Security > Login Security Policies.
  2. Hover over the tab that has the name Administrator and choose the role.
  3. Uncheck the option Inherit password & login security policies.
  4. Configure the policies for that role in the role’s tab.
  5. Click Save to save the new policies.

Inherit password & login security policies.

The newly configured policies will apply to the users with that role. To force the users to change their passwords, click the Reset All Users’ Passwords button.
