The printer recognizes two levels of access.

Guest Access

: This access level applies to anyone using the printer without authentication, such

as in a login or authenticated network access.

User Accounts

: This access level applies to anyone who has a login account with the printer. The

login account can be on the printer, or through a network server connected to the printer.

User Accounts are divided further into Roles. Roles assign privileges to perform tasks with the device.
By default, the device defines two roles.

• Basic User: This role can be configured to have full privileges or a subset of privileges.

• System Administrator: This Role has full privileges.

You can edit the privileges assigned to the Basic User Role and create Roles with custom privileges.

Note:

Users can belong to only one role.

The device provides two types of Roles.

• Device User Role: This role type defines the general functionality that is available to a user, such

as copy, scan, and configuration functions.

• Printing User Role: This role type defines the printing functionality that is available to a user. You

can specify times of day that printing is allowed, restrict color printing, or restrict which
applications have access to the printer.

Note:

More roles are available, depending on the printer settings for Authentication.
