4 Access Control
4.1 User Authentication
The Fiery server user authentication feature allows the
Fiery server to:
• Authenticate user names.
• Authorize actions based on the user’s privileges.
The Fiery server can authenticate users who are:
• Domain-based: users defined on a corporate server
and accessed via LDAP.
• Fiery-based: users defined on the Fiery server.
The Fiery server authorizes actions based on the privileges
defined for a Fiery group, which the user is a member.
Fiery Groups are groups of users with a predefined set of
privileges. The Fiery Group assigns a set of privileges to a
collection of users.
The Fiery Administrator can modify the membership of
any Fiery Group with the exception of the Administrator,
Operator and Guest users.
For this version of User Authentication, the different privilege
levels that can be edited or selected for a group are as follows:
• Print in B&W — This privilege allows group members to
print jobs on the Fiery server. If the user does not have the
“Print in Color and B&W” privilege, the Fiery server forces the
job to print in black and white (B&W).
• Print in Color and B&W — This privilege allows group members
to print jobs on the Fiery server with full access to the color and
grayscale printing capabilities of the Fiery servers. Without this or
the Print in B&W privilege, the print job fails to print. Without this
or the Print in B&W privilege, users are not able
to submit the job via FTP (color devices only).
• Fiery Mailbox — This privilege allows group members to have
individual mailboxes. The Fiery server creates a mailbox based
on the username with a mailbox privilege. Access to this
mailbox is only with the mailbox username/password.
Note: User Authentication replaces Member Printing/Group
Printing features.
4.2 Fiery Software Authentication
The Fiery server defines Administrator, Operator, and Guest
users with different privileges. These users are specific to
the Fiery software and are not related to Windows-defined
users or roles. It is recommended that administrators
require passwords to access the Fiery server. Additionally,
EFI recommends that the administrator change the default
password to a different password as defined by the end
user’s security requirements.
The three levels of passwords on the Fiery server allow
access to the following functionality:
• Administrator — Gets full control over all the Fiery server’s
functionality.
• Operator — Has the same privileges as the Administrator,
except he/she has no access to some server functions, such as
set-up, and cannot delete the job log.
• Guest (default; no password) — Has the same privileges as
Operator, except he/she cannot access the job log, cannot
make edits or cannot make status changes to print jobs and
preview jobs.
