Relationship between users and accounts When the user and account is in one-to-one relation When a user joins multiple accounts Description By synchronizing account information with a user, you can associate the user with an account on a one-to-one basis. For example, you can allow a company staff member belonging to a certain department to use color printing and another member belonging to another department to use black and white printing only. Also, you can count the number of printed sheets by department to encourage each department to develop awareness of costs. If you specify the department of a user when registering him/her, you can log in as the account only by logging in as the user. To manage the use status not only by actual department but also by project, do not synchronize the user with an account. For example, for a project across multiple departments, you can analyze the use status of this machine by project as well as by company staff member or department. To log in to this machine, enter the user name, then specify the account. bizhub C754/C654 12-3
