Securing printers 30 Note: For a list of individual access controls and what they do, see "Appendix D: Access controls" on page 84. Security Templates Some scenarios call for only limited security, such as PIN‑protected access to common device functions, while others require tighter security and role‑based restrictions. Individually, building blocks, groups, and access controls may not meet the needs of a complex security environment. In order to accommodate users in different groups needing access to a common set of functions such as printing, copying, and faxing, administrators must be able to combine these components in ways that give all users the functions they need, while restricting other functions to only authorized users. A security template is a profile constructed using a building block, or certain building blocks paired with one or more groups.

Security Templates
Some scenarios call for only limited security, such as PIN
‑
protected access to common device functions, while
others require tighter security and role
‑
based restrictions. Individually, building blocks, groups, and access
controls may not meet the needs of a complex security environment. In order to accommodate users in different
groups needing access to a common set of functions such as printing, copying, and faxing, administrators must
be able to combine these components in ways that give all users the functions they need, while restricting other
functions to only authorized users.
A
security template
is a profile constructed using a building block, or certain building blocks paired with one
or more groups. How they are combined determines the type of security created:
Building block
Type of security
Internal Accounts
Authentication only
Internal Accounts with Groups

LDAP

Each device can support up to 140 security templates, allowing administrators to create very specific profiles
for each access control.
