The printer recognizes two levels of access.
•
Guest Access
: This access level applies to anyone using the printer without authentication, such
as in a login or authenticated network access.
•
User Accounts
: This access level applies to anyone who has a login account with the printer. The
login account can be on the printer, or through a network server connected to the printer.
User Accounts are divided further into Roles. Roles assign privileges to perform tasks with the device.
By default, the device defines two roles.
• Basic User: This role can be configured to have full privileges or a subset of privileges.
• System Administrator: This Role has full privileges.
You can edit the privileges assigned to the Basic User Role and create Roles with custom privileges.
Note:
Users can belong to only one role.
The device provides two types of Roles.
• Device User Role: This role type defines the general functionality that is available to a user, such
as copy, scan, and configuration functions.
• Printing User Role: This role type defines the printing functionality that is available to a user. You
can specify times of day that printing is allowed, restrict color printing, or restrict which
applications have access to the printer.
Note:
More roles are available, depending on the printer settings for Authentication.
