Tell me about user and access privileges management

 

User types

Note: You must be logged in as Administrator to call up the User management.

Principally there are only three user types which differ according to their access privileges.

 

User type

Permission

Admin

Administrators have full access privileges.

User

Users have limited access to the job lists. They can set jobs on hold or restart them but cannot change job-specific settings.

In the Settings area, you have full access to the virtual printers and the settings for Job handling. It is not possible to load new fonts or profiles or to edit colors.

The Administration area is hidden except for the Drive monitor (read-only) and Logout functions.

Guest

Users are able to log in at the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager on the server but are then only presented the job lists in order to get information on the status of certain jobs. They are prevented from stopping, deleting and/or restarting jobs.

The same applies to the Settings area where users of this type have read access to the settings but cannot edit them.

The Administration area is totally hidden except for the Logout function.

You cannot add any other users or user types but only edit the settings for these three user types. When you log in, the access rights are set automatically via the User name and the Password.

The administrator can deactivate the User and Guest types as appropriate. If this is done, the user cannot log in even if the correct user name and password are entered.
