1. Registering a role

Register a role to assign to the user. For example, create an organizational unit name or job title role, and set and register the allowed operations (like printing) for each role.

A maximum of 100 roles can be registered. You can also assign multiple roles to a single user.

You can set to permit/prohibit the following operations for a role.

  • Printing from a PC


By default, two types of roles are registered.

  • .AdminRole:
    The role of the device administrator. It can be assigned to general users. A user with [.AdminRole] assigned can act as a device administrator and perform [Administrator Login] on the web page. (However, the condition is that access control is enabled and it is a local user.)
    [.AdminRole] cannot be deleted or edited.
  • .DefaultRole:
    This is the role to be assigned if no role is specified when a user is registered.
    [.DefaultRole] cannot be deleted, but the access rights can be edited.


  1. Open the web page of this machine.

  2. Log in as an administrator.

  3. Click [Printer Settings].

  4. Click the Menu button on the upper right corner, and then select [User Management] - [User Management].

  5. Click [Role].

  6. When the Role Information screen is displayed, input the required information.

    • Role Name: Input any role name. The same [Role Name] cannot be registered. Also, [Role Name] cannot be omitted.

    • Role Description: Input a description for the role.

    • Permission: Set permission/prohibition/forced prohibition of each operation in this role. Setting forced prohibition will prohibit operations permitted by other roles.

    • Local User List: Add or delete a local user to which this role is assigned.

    • Kerberos User List: Add a Kerberos user to whom this role applies.

  7. Click [Submit].
    You can copy registered roles and add new roles based on the copied configuration.
    When you click [Copy] below the role name, the role information screen will be displayed, so change and register the required items.
