Authorization; Personalization; Setting The Login Method - Xerox WorkCentre 7970 System Administrator Manual

Authorization

Authorization is the function of specifying the features that users are allowed to access, and the process
of approving or disapproving access. You can configure the printer to allow users to access the printer,
but restrict access to certain features, tools, and services. For example, you can allow users to access to
copying but restrict access to scanning. You can also control access to features at specific times of the
day. For example, you 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.
