User Types Managed by Authentication Feature
The following describes the types of users that can be managed with the Authentication
feature.
User information can be registered on the machine.
Types of User
Users are classified into the following four types. The Authentication feature restricts
operations according to the user type.
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.
To login as the syst
em administrator, enter the system administrator's user ID in the user ID
entry field on the screen.
Lo
gin 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.
Note • Users who are assigned as [System Administrator] in [User Role] have almost the same privileges as
the system administrator. For more information, refer to "User Roles and Authorization Groups" (P.316).
Unregistered User
Unregistered User is a user not registered on the machine.
An unregistered user cannot use restricted services.
Local User
A user who does not login to the machine is called a Local User.
Sub User
You can associate sub users with a user ID of a login user in accordance with the intended
use. Up to 10 Sub User IDs can be associated with a User ID.
User Roles and Authorization Groups
You can select a user role and an authorization group for each user when registering a user
on the machine.
Note • When the Login Type is [Login to Local Accounts] and the Accounting Type is [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.
