Specifying Administrator Privileges

To specify administrator authentication, set "Administrator Authentication Management" to [On]. If this setting is enabled, administrators can configure only settings allocated to them.

To log in as an administrator, use the default login user name and password.

For details about logging in and logging out with administrator authentication, see Administrator Login Method and Administrator Logout Method.

Important

  • If you have enabled "Administrator Authentication Management", make sure not to forget the administrator login user name and password. If you forget an administrator login user name or password, you must specify a new password using the supervisor's privilege. For details on supervisor privileges, see Supervisor.

You can specify administrator privileges using a web browser from networked computers. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.)

1Open a web browser from a networked computer, and then log in to Web Image Monitor as the administrator.

For details about logging in to Web Image Monitor as an administrator, see Administrator Login Method.

3Click [Administrator Authentication Management] under "Device Settings".

4From [User Administrator Authentication], [Machine Administrator Authentication], [Network Administrator Authentication], and [File Administrator Authentication], set the administrator authentication setting to [On], and then click [OK].

5Log out.

For details about logging out, see Administrator Logout Method.
