You can change the password or other details of a vCenter Single Sign-On user from a vCenter Single Sign-On management interface. You cannot rename users in the vsphere.local domain. That means you cannot rename [email protected].

You can create additional users with the same privileges as [email protected].

vCenter Single Sign-On users are stored in the vCenter Single Sign-On vsphere.local domain.

You can review the vCenter Single Sign-On password policies from the vSphere Web Client. Log in as [email protected] and select Configuration > Policies > Password Policies.
