Types of Account Administration

The following describes the types of account administration (Accounting Type) available on

Note
The Account Administration feature is classified into the following two types:
Local Accounting
Local Accounting performs account administration on the machine.
In Local Accounting, account administration is performed using the login users' information
registered on the machine. Also, accounting information is counted using various counters
automatically created for each user. To print accounting reports for each user, you must be
authenticated as the system administrator, a user with the System Administrator user role,
or a user with the Account Administrator user role.
For information on the types of jobs that can be monitored with account administration, refer to "Jobs
Manageable by Account Administration" (P.552).
For information on how to print reports, refer to "Print Reports" (P.276).
Network Accounting
Network Accounting performs account administration using user information managed by a
remote service.
In Network Accounting, the remote server collects job data stored on the machine and
counts up the numbers of pages processed for each user.
User information managed by the remote service is sent to be registered on the machine.
When the user information on the remote service is updated, the updated information must
be sent from the remote service to the machine.
Accounting using Authentication Server
Account administration is performed using a remote authentication server.
In this accounting, the remote server collects job data stored on the machine and counts up
the numbers of pages processed for each user.
The authentication server manages the user's authorization information and obtains
accounting information from a remote server.
ColorTrack
