Administrators

Administrators manage user access to the machine and various other important functions and settings.
When an administrator controls limited access and settings, first select the machine's administrator and
enable the authentication function before using the machine. When the authentication function is
enabled, the login user name and login password are required in order to use the machine. The role of
administrator for this machine is divided into four categories according to their function: user
administrator, machine administrator, network administrator, and file administrator. Sharing
administrator tasks eases the burden on individual administrators while at the same time limiting
unauthorized operations by an administrator. Multiple administrator roles can be assigned to one
administrator and one role can also be shared by more than one administrator. A supervisor can also be
set up, who can then change the administrators' passwords.
Administrators cannot use functions such as copying and printing. To use these functions, the
administrator must be authenticated as the user.
For instructions on registering the administrator, see page 19 "Registering and Changing
Administrators", and for instructions on changing the administrator's password, see page 26
"Supervisor". For details on Users, see page 29 "Users".
• If user authentication is not possible because of a problem with the hard disk or network, you can
use the machine by accessing it using administrator authentication and disabling user
authentication. Do this if, for instance, you need to use the machine urgently.
