Enabling Administrator Authentication
To control administrators' access to the machine, perform administrator authentication using login user
names and passwords. When registering an administrator, you cannot use a login user name already
registered in the Address Book. Administrators are handled differently from the users registered in the
Address Book. Windows authentication, LDAP authentication and Integration Server authentication are
not performed for an administrator, so an administrator can log in even if the server is unreachable due to
a network problem. Each administrator is identified by a login user name. One person can act as more
than one type of administrator if multiple administrator authorities are granted to a single login user name.
For instructions on registering the administrator, see p.28 "Registering the Administrator".
You can specify the login user name, login password, and encryption password for each administrator.
The encryption password is the password for performing encryption when specifying settings with an
application using SNMPv3. The password registered in the machine must also be entered in the application.
Administrators are limited to managing the machine's settings and controlling user access, so they cannot
use functions such as copying and scanning. To use these functions, the administrator must register as a
user in the Address Book and then be authenticated as the user. Specify administrator authentication, and
then specify user authentication. For details about specifying authentication, see p.37 "Configuring User
Authentication".
• Administrator authentication can also be specified via Web Image Monitor. For details, see Web
Image Monitor Help.
• You can specify user code authentication without specifying administrator authentication.
Specifying Administrator Privileges
To specify administrator authentication, set "Administrator Authentication Management" to [On]. In
addition, if enabled in the settings, you can choose how the initial settings are divided among the
administrators as controlled items.
To log in as an administrator, use the default login user name and login password.
The defaults are "admin" for the login name and blank for the password. For details about changing the
administrator password using the supervisor's authority, see p.231 "Supervisor Operations".
For details about logging in and logging out with administrator authentication, see p.30 "Logging in
Using Administrator Authentication" and p.32 "Logging out Using Administrator Authentication".
• If you have enabled "Administrator Authentication Management", make sure not to forget the
administrator login user name and login password. If an administrator login user name or login
password is forgotten, a new password must be specified using the supervisor's authority. For
instructions on registering the supervisor, see p.231 "Supervisor Operations".
