Setting Up User Accounts
Kofax Front-Office Server and Kofax Capture use separate security systems. To send documents
to Kofax Capture, you need to log on with a valid Kofax Capture user account as follows:
 Users sending documents through the Web Client are prompted to enter an Kofax Capture
user name and account when they expand the list of destinations. Once they have logged
on successfully, the credentials are saved.
 Administrators setting up global and group shortcuts can save an Kofax Capture user
name and password for the Kofax Capture destination type. The credentials are used as
defaults when creating shortcuts for Kofax Capture destinations. Administrators can
override the defaults by assigning different user accounts to individual shortcuts.
