# Edit the admin rule

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

## Overview

* *Admin rule* is the name given to the number of approvals required from all Administrators to authorize sensitive actions in your workspace (for example: creating an account, revoking a user...). It's the minimum number of approvals that must be collected before a request is effective.
* Increase or decrease the number of approvals required from Administrators to authorize sensitive actions in your workspace (for example: creating accounts, adding new users...).
* Editing the admin rule must be exceptional as all pending requests will fail and will have to be recreated, unless you process them beforehand.
* Only a quorum of Administrators (i.e., a minimum of two Admins) can modify the governance settings, including the approval process. These rules are secured at the HSM level and cannot be altered, even by Ledger. This is a key security feature that ensures customers remain fully autonomous and self-sovereign, with no Ledger intervention required to manage their governance

## Before you start

* Make sure you're aware of **important information** listed on the Admin rule page.
* Your Personal Security Device must be connected to your computer, switched on, and the Ledger Vault app opened.

## Instructions

1. Click **Settings** on the left panel.
2. In the admin rule section, click **Edit** . (NB: The edit button is greyed out if you don't have more than 3 Administrators registered as you need at least 3 admins to run a vault)

3. Use the slider to define the new number of approvals. You can't have less than two approvals or a number of approvals that is equal to the number of registered Administrators.

4. Click **Continue** .
5. 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) .
6. Tap **Confirm** .

## Results

An *Edit admin rule* request is submitted for approval. The request must be approved by the number of Administrators **currently defined** in the admin rule.

## What's next?

Once the request is approved, the new admin rule is applied in the workspace. New requests created in the workspace will now require a new number of approvals to be authorized.
