2.2.1.2 Access Control
The Access Control page is placed in the Setup tab, in the subsection called Access Control.
This function allows you to manage at least three roles of use (depending on the firmware version), defining which
applications are available for each of them.
The Control Panel Access Lock (Setup > Security) should be set to unlocked (see 3.5.1. Control Panel Access Lock).
How to configure Access Control
The Access Control page has three main sections for the three main actions that can be performed:
• Sign-in methods: this section shows the enabled sign-in methods that can be used to sign in to the device.
• Device user accounts: in this section you can create, edit or delete the user accounts that are available on
the printer.
• Sign-in and permission policies: here you can set up the sign-in requirements for specific tasks and restrict
user access by role.
