User Manager
User Manager is a utility that allows the administrator to create, delete, and maintain user accounts.
User Profiles
A new user’s profile is based on the Default User profile template, which includes policies similar to the
factory-defined Administrator account. This new account will default to membership within the local
Users group. If the Default User profile settings are changed from those set at the factory, the changed
settings are automatically applied to any newly created user profile—local or domain. Any local
accounts created or cached domain accounts logged into this device prior to changes made to the
Default User profile are unaffected by these changes—only accounts logged in or cached after the
changes.
For a new user to match the characteristics of the pre-defined User account, the Administrator must add
the new user to the Power Users group; otherwise the new user will not be able to add a local printer.
The user's actions are still limited while the user is in the Power Users group. The Administrator may
also want to apply specific Windows policies to the new account to restrict certain actions or
behaviors.
CAUTION: Because of the limited size of flash memory, HP strongly recommends that you configure
other applications available to the new and existing users to prevent writing to the local file system. For
the same reason, HP also recommends that you exercise extreme care when changing configuration
settings of the factory-installed applications.
