Authorization; Personalization; Setting The Authentication Method And The Authorization Method - Xerox ColorQube 8700 System Administrator Manual

Authorization

Authorization is the function of specifying the features that you are allowed to access, and the process of
approving or disapproving your access. The system administrator can configure the printer to allow you
to access to the printer, but restrict your access to certain features, tools, and services. For example, the
printer can allow you access to copying but restrict your access to color printing. The system administrator
can also control your access to features at specific times during the day. For example, the system
administrator can restrict a group of users from printing during peak business hours.
There are two types of authorization:

Local Authorization verifies user information on the printer to approve access.

Network Authorization verifies user information stored externally in a network database, such as an
LDAP directory, to approve access.

Personalization

Personalization is the process of customizing services for a specific user. The printer searches an LDAP
directory for the home directory and email address of a user when using Scan to Home, or Email Scanning
features.
