Restricting Available Functions
Restricting available functions for each user
Installing user authentication allows you to restrict available functions for each user.
For example, you can set it up so that specific users can print, but other users can not print. Configuring settings according to the business requirements of users provides you with added security measures and reduced costs simultaneously.
Select [User Auth/Account Track] - [User Authentication Setting] - [User Registration] - [Edit] - [Function Permission] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.
Function | Description |
|---|---|
[Print] | Select whether to allow printing by the print function (including printing from a USB flash drive) (default: [Full Color/Black]). [Black Only] allows black and white printing only. |
[Web Browser] | Select whether to allow use of the Web browser function (default: [Allow All]). This function is available when the Web browser function is enabled.
|
[Biometric/IC Card Information Registration] | Select whether to allow registration of bio authentication information and IC card authentication information (default: OFF). |
Tips
- To use the external authentication server, user information is registered once you execute authentication. To restrict functions accessible by users, edit user information registered on this machine.
Restricting available functions by account track
Installing account track allows you to restrict available functions by account track.
For example, you can set it up so that specific accounts can print, but other accounts cannot print. Configuring settings according to the business requirements of accounts provides you with added security measures and reduced costs simultaneously.
Select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Account Track Settings] - [Account Track Registration] - [Edit] - [Function Permission] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.
Function | Description |
|---|---|
[Print] | Select whether to allow printing by the print function (including printing from a USB flash drive) (default: [Full Color/Black]). [Black Only] allows black and white printing only. |
Configuring the default settings of the functions available for users of external server authentication
