Authorization; Personalization; Accounting - Xerox AltaLink B80XX Series User 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 apps. For example, you can allow users to access
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.
For information about configuring Authorization settings, refer to the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/ALB80XXdocs.

Personalization

Personalization is the process of customizing apps for a specific user. When a user logs in to the device
and personalized information is required, the device searches an LDAP directory for the information.
Personalized information examples are a Home destination or email address. The device uses the
personalized information to complete the task.
For information about configuring settings, refer to the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/ALB80XXdocs.

Accounting

Accounting is used to track and record the numbers of Copy, Print, Workflow Scanning, Server Fax, and
Fax jobs that the device produces for each user. The system administrator must create user accounts and
enable the accounting feature. After Accounting is enabled, log in to the printer to access restricted
apps. Before printing documents from a computer, provide your account details in the print driver.
The system administrator can set limits to restrict the total number of jobs by type that a user can send
to the printer. The administrator can generate reports listing usage data for individual users and groups.
