Types of User
When the authentication feature is enabled, users are classified into the following three
types.
z
When the authentication feature is disabled, users are classified as either system administrator or local user.
îš„ System Administrator
The system administrator can register and change system settings to adapt to the
environment to be used.
A system administrator uses a specific user ID called a system administrator’s user ID.
îš„ Login User
A login user is a user registered on the machine or a remote server. To use restricted
services, enter the user ID and passcode on the screen.
A user ID of a login user can be associated with some sub users in accordance with the
intended use.
z
An optional component is required to use the sub user feature. For more information, contact our Customer
Support Center.
îš„ Unregistered User
An unregistered user is a user not registered on the machine.
An unregistered user cannot use restricted services.
User Roles and Authorization Groups
You can select a user role and an authorization group for each user.
For a user registered on a remote server, these settings are effective only when LDAP is
used. When using LDAP, configure the settings on CentreWare Internet Services.
z
When [Login Type] is set to [Login to Local Accounts] and [Accounting Type] is set to [Network Accounting],
an authorization group cannot be assigned to a user. Therefore, the features configured for the authorization
group, such as the feature to temporarily disable forcible printing, are not available.
