# Admin Permissions in the Intel AMT Device

This section describes how administrator permissions are defined in the Intel AMT device.

Note:
If you “lose” the password(s) of the Intel AMT “admin” accounts configured in your systems, it will not be possible to manage or reconfigure Intel AMT on those systems. Thus, it is highly recommended to define an additional administrator account in Intel AMT (preferably a Kerberos user account). This additional Intel AMT admin account will provide a backup for disaster recovery.
