Administrative Security Settings Help

To prevent unauthorized changes to printer settings, enter a user name and password and/or host access list in the Administrator Settings fields. This User Name/Password combination should be kept secure. After creating an Administrator user account, you can authorize feature access to the other two user classes.

Note: If an Administrator account is not set up, all users will have unrestricted access to all printer features. The Administrator account must be created before features can be restricted or disabled for any other user class.

User Classes

  • Admin - Super user with ultimate management responsibility who requires access to the entire functionality of the printer. This user class must be configured before any other user set can be assigned permissions.
  • Key User - Users who are either a lesser-empowered administrator assigned responsibility for a sub-set of printer functions, or a class of users who are given restricted access. This user set inherits all of the checked settings for the Any User set.
  • Any user - Typical user printing to the printer.

If a user name and password have been set, you must enter them when changing the printer or network settings from within CentreWare IS.

Setting a User Name and Password

After the Administrator account is created, the Key User account user name and password combination can be created for users who need specific access.

Host Access List - Enter a Host Access List. The Host Access List contains IP Addresses or DNS Names of all host machines that users can use to access and use CentreWare IS. If you enter more than one address or name, separate the entries with a space or a comma.

User Name - Enter a user name. The user name can include alphanumeric characters up to 10 characters in length.

Password/Verify Password - Enter a password. The password can include alphanumeric characters up to 32 characters in length. Verify the password by re-entering it.

Click Save Changes to store the information in the printer.

Feature Authorization Settings

After the administrator creates user records, rights to access specific printer functions can be assigned. Functions are separated into three categories:Administration functions, Web Server Printing functions, and Printer Neighborhood functions. The administrator has full rights and access to all functions.
