Management Based on Authentication and Access Control
50
5
Administrators and Users
When controlling access using the authentication specified by an administrator,
select the machine’s administrator, enable the authentication function, and then
use the machine.
The administrators manage access to the allocated functions, and users can use
only the functions they are permitted to access. To enable the authentication
function, the login user name and login password are required in order to use
the machine.
When specifying user authentication, specify administrator authentication as
well.
Important
❒ If user authentication is not possible because of a problem with the hard disk
or network, you can use the machine by accessing it using administrator au-
thentication and disabling user authentication. Do this if, for instance, you
need to use the machine urgently. For details, see the Web Image Monitor
Help.
Administrator
There are four types of administrator according to the administered function:
machine administrator, network administrator, file administrator, and user ad-
ministrator.
By sharing the administrative work among different administrators, you can
spread the workload and limit unauthorized operation by a single administra-
tor.
Administrators are limited to managing the machine’s settings and access limits,
so user authentication is required to use such functions as copying and printing.
Note
❒ One person can act as more than one type of administrator.
