# Edit an account

Edit the name and transaction rules of an existing account.

{% hint style="success" %}
This article is for Administrators only.
{% endhint %}

## Before you start

* Your Personal Security Device must be connected to your computer, switched on, and the Ledger Vault app opened.

## Instructions

#### Step 1. Edit the account's name and transaction rules

* Click **Accounts** on the left panel.
* Click the name of the account you want to edit.
* Go to the **Settings** tab.
* Click **Edit** next to the account's name.
* Make the necessary updates to the name of the account, transaction rules, amount ranges and whitelists.
* Click **Next**.

#### Step 2. Confirm the account's changes on your device

* Click **Edit account** .
* Verify that the information displayed on your device is accurate. If it's not, either try again or contact [Support](https://ledgerhq.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals) .
* Tap **Next** to review all rules.
* Tap **Confirm** to confirm the edit.

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll be prevented from editing an account if:

* A transaction request is pending to be approved in the account.
* An Operator used in the account is pending to be revoked.
* A group linked to the account is pending to be edited or deleted.
* A whitelist linked to the account is pending to be edited.
  {% endhint %}

## Results

An *Edit account* request is submitted to all Administrators.

This request will fail if any Operator in the approval workflow is revoked before the request is approved.

## What's next?

Your changes will be implemented once the request is approved by the number of Administrators defined in the admin rule. For more information, Track the status of a request.

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

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

```
GET https://help.enterprise.ledger.com/core/workspace-administration/accounts/edit-an-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 `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` 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.
