Overview of Authentication
This section is an overview of the Authentication feature used with the machine.
Users Controlled by Authentication
The following is an explanation about the different user types that are controlled by the
Authentication feature.
Users are classified into the following four types. The Authentication feature restricts
operations according to the user type.
z System Administrators
z Authenticated Users
z Unauthenticated Users
z General Users
System Administrators
These are users who can enter and change system settings.
A system administrator uses a special user ID called a System Administrator ID.
To enter System Administration mode, enter the System Administrator ID into the user
ID entry field on the authentication screen.
Authenticated Users
These are users who are registered with the machine.
When an authenticated user uses a service that is restricted, the user must enter their
user ID on the authentication screen.
Unauthenticated Users
These are users who are not registered with the machine.
An unauthenticated user cannot use services that are restricted.
General Users
These are general users who are not permitted to use the machine in the authenticated
mode.

accounting server to manage authentication.
