PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP 15
PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP
To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery Controller configuration
(or “Setup”) to specify the network environment and the types of printing you do. Before you
perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and other security
features that the Fiery Controller offers. Because many of these security features are
interconnected, review the information in this chapter to plan for an effective security system,
and then perform Setup accordingly.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the Fiery Controller during Setup, you implement a particular level of
control by configuring these elements:
• Users and Groups
• Print connections
• Access to WebTools
Users and Groups
With Configure, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with particular
privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default, and you can
create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users from
your organization’s global address list if you have LDAP services enabled on the Fiery
Controller.
The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
