Administrator Guide

Scenario: Standalone or small office
Note: This is available only in select printer models.
If your printer is not connected to a network, or you do not use an authentication server to grant users access to devices,
then internal accounts can be created and stored within the Embedded Web Server for authentication, authorization,
or both.
Step 1: Set up individual user accounts
1
From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2 Under Advanced Security Setup, click Internal Accounts, and then configure it.
For more information on configuring individual user accounts, see
“Setting up internal accounts” on page 10.
Step 2: Create a security template
1
From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2 Under Advanced Security Setup, click Security Template.
3 Under Manage Security Templates, click Add a Security Template.
4 In the Security Templates Name field, type a unique name containing up to 128 characters. It can be helpful to use
a descriptive name, such as ”Administrator_Only” or “Common_Functions_Template.”
5 From the Authentication Setup menu, select a method for authenticating users. This list will be populated with the
authentication building blocks which have been configured on the device.
6 To use authorization, click Add authorization, and then select a building block from the Authorization Setup menu.
This list will be populated with the authorization building blocks available on the device.
Note: Certain building blocks (such as PINs and passwords) do not support separate authorization.
7 To use groups, click Modify Groups, and then select one or more groups to include in the security template. Hold
down the Ctrl key to select multiple groups.
8 Click Save Template.
Step 3: Assign security templates to access controls
1
From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2 Under Advanced Security Setup, click Access Controls.
3 If necessary, click Expand All or click a specific folder to view a list of available functions.
4 For each function you want to protect, select a security template from the drop‑down menu next to the name of
that function.
5 Click Submit to save the changes, or Reset Form to cancel all changes.
Users will now be required to enter the appropriate credentials in order to gain access to any function controlled
by a security template.
Scenario: Network running Active Directory
