Appendix 75 Select Administrator_Security Authenticated_Users For • Administrators allowed to access all device functions • Administrators allowed to use device functions and access the Security menu • Administrators allowed to access all device functions • Administrators allowed to use device functions and access the Reports menu • Administrators allowed to use device functions and access the Security menu • Non‑administrators (all other users) Step 2: Creating accounts You can add multiple user accounts as needed. For more information, see "Setting up internal accounts" on page 11. When selecting the groups associated with an account, take note of the following: • For users with administrative privileges, select the "Authenticated_Users" group and one or more administrator groups, if necessary. For multiple groups with access to specific device functions, select all groups from which the administrator is included. • For other users, select only the "Authenticated_Users" group. Creating security templates Assign a security template to each device function to restrict user access to that function. At a minimum, create two security templates: one for "Administrator_Only" and one for "Authenticated_Users." To allow access to some administrative functions while restricting others, create more security templates, such as "Administrator_Reports" or "Administrator_Security." Each template is populated with groups containing users authorized to access the functions protected by that template. 1 Navigate to the menu screen, and then touch Security > Edit Security Setups > Edit Security Templates > Add Entry. 2 Type a unique name to identify the template.

Note: You can also configure security templates using the device Embedded Web Server. For more information, see "Using a security template to control function access" on page 20. Controlling access to device functions Access to device functions can be restricted by applying security templates to individual functions. For more information, see "Using a security template to control function access" on page 20. For a list of access controls and what they do, see "Appendix D: Access controls" on page 68.
