Specifying the
Administrator/Security Functions
The Roles of Administrators
By limiting the functions available to each user, you can protect the data in the
machine from leaks and from being tampered with or deleted. The administra-
tors each manage the access limits to the functions they are responsible for.
There are four types of administrator, as shown below. You can also specify a su-
pervisor who can change each administrator’s password.
• Machine Administrator
• Network Administrator
• File Administrator
• User Administrator
• Supervisor
Register the administrators and supervisor separately from the users registered
in the address book. Users registered in the address book cannot be specified as
administrators.
Reference
For details, see p.74 “Registering the Administrator”.

❖ Machine Administrator
This is the administrator who mainly manages the machine’s default settings.
You can set the machine so that the default for each function can only be spec-
ified by the machine administrator. By making this setting, you can prevent
unauthorized people from changing the settings and allow the machine to be
used securely by its many users.
❖
❖❖
❖ Network Administrator
This is the administrator who manages the network settings. You can set the
machine so that network settings such as the IP address and settings for send-
ing and receiving e-mail can only be specified by the network administrator.
By making this setting, you can prevent unauthorized users from changing
the settings and disabling the machine, and thus ensure correct network op-
eration.
❖
❖❖
❖ File Administrator
This is the administrator who manages permission to access stored files. You
can specify passwords to allow only registered and permitted users to view
and edit files stored in Document Server. By making this setting, you can pre-
vent data leaks and tampering due to unauthorized users viewing and using
the registered data.
