Authentication and
Accounting Feature
6.1
Summary
Use the authentication feature to restrict access to the machine itself, or restrict access for each
service. This also allows users to process and manage data on service usage status per user.
Types of Users
Users are grouped into the following categories when using the authentication feature.
Administrator
This type of user is able to register and change system setting value according to the user
environment.
Administrators use a specially defined user ID called an administrator ID.
Login User
This type of user is registered to the machine or an external server. Each user is authenticated by a
user ID.
The user ID of an authenticated user can be associated with a sub user based on its intended use. The
user ID of an authenticated user can be associated with up to 10 sub user IDs.
Note
A separate application is required to use sub users. For details, contact your local representative.
Guest User
This type of user has not been registered.
Guest users cannot access restricted services.

Services.
