Creating user accounts
Creating internal (device) accounts for use with the evaluated configuration involves not only assigning a user ID
and password to each user, but also segmenting users into groups. You will select one or more of these groups when
configuring security templates, and then apply a security template to each device function, to control access to that
function. The MFP supports a maximum of 250 user accounts and 32 user groups.
Step 1: Defining groups
1 From the home screen, touch Menus > Security > Edit Security Setups > Edit Building Blocks > Internal
Accounts > General Settings > Groups for Internal Accounts.
2 On the Groups for Internal Accounts screen, select Add Entry.
3 For the Name, type Administrator_Only.
4 Touch Next, to save this group and return to the Groups for Internal Accounts screen.
5 On the Groups for Internal Accounts screen, select Add Entry.
6 For the Name, type Authenticated_Users.
7 Touch Next, to save this group.
Note: If there is a need to grant access to some administrative functions while restricting others, you can create
additional groups such as “Administrator_Reports”, or “Administrator_Security”.
