Authorization Overview
This feature works in conjunction with the Authentication feature to determine what an authenticated
user is allowed to do.
When a user has been authenticated, the Authorization feature will validate the role of that user.
When remote authorization is selected, not only is the ‘User Role’ defined, but also the user can be
authorized for individual services and pathways.
Authorized Users Roles Controlled by Authentication
•
System Administrator
Access - Users who have full access to the device and the device settings.
•
Account Administrator
Access - these users have access to the accounting settings.
•
User
There are two options for Authorization:
•
Locally on the Device (Internal Database)
- refers to the database included on your device.
•
Remotely on a network
- refers to networked server/databases that will provide authentication of
user login details. Supported method is:
•
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).
The administrator can specify the services and device pathways on a device that requires
authentication. Services can be locked and/or hidden so that unauthorized users cannot use or see
them. Pathways can be locked or unlocked.
Authentication Configuration
Network Authentication can be enabled to prevent unauthorized use of features and pathways (for
example Machine Status Pathway, Job Status Pathway and Service Pathway such as Color Copy,
Reprint Saved Jobs, Workflow Scanning, E-mail, Internet Fax and Fax).
Users of the device will be asked to provide a User Name and Password to be validated by the
designated authentication server. If this validation is successful, the options which were previously
locked will be available for individual use (depending on the authorization settings).
Information Checklist
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following items are available or tasks have been performed:
•
Ensure the device is fully functional on the network.
•
Ensure that the TCP/IP and HTTP protocols are configured on the device and fully functional. This
is required to access Internet Services to configure Network Authentication. Internet Services
function is accessed through the embedded HTTP server on the device and allows System
Administrators to configure Authentication settings by using an Internet browser.
•
Ensure the Authentication Server to be used is functional on your network and refer to your
manufacturer's documentation for instructions to complete this task.
