You can perform user management such as registering
                  login users and specifying the user authentication method.
In [User Control] of "Settings (administrator)" and [System Settings]
                  of [Authentication Settings].
User Control allows you to register and manage the users who
                  use the machine.
                  By limiting the number of pages and functions that a user or a group
                  of users can use, incorrect use of the machine can be prevented.
                  To prevent unauthorised use, persons who are not registered can
                  be prohibited from using the machine or prohibited from using certain
                  functions.

A user can be registered
                        in an organization/group to enable sharing the contacts and group
                        information registered in that group. When counting all used pages,
                        you can check how many pages and what functions are used by each
                        group.
Multiple organizations/groups can be set for a user.

A Page Limit Group List can be used to limit
                        the number of sheets that users in a specific group can use for
                        copies or print jobs, and limit the number of pages that can be
                        scanned or faxed. The users can also be prohibited from using certain
                        functions.

Authority Group is used to restrict the
                        functions and settings that users who belong to a specific group
                        can use. By setting restrictions on functions and settings, you
                        can prevent inexperienced users from performing incorrect operations and
                        settings, and thereby enable safe use of the machine.
Main
                           authority types (Default Group List)

For each group, you can register an environment
                        with settings that are convenient for the group. For example, if
                        the users speak different languages, a language can be set for each
                        group, and this setting is applied automatically at login (normally
                        the display language cannot be changed each time the machine is
                        used).

You can join the Active Directory domain
                        (AD domain) of the machine, and easily perform user management on
                        the network.
On a network that does not have Active Directory enabled,
                        you must perform network device authentication for each device.
For this reason, one user must have multiple domain names
                        and passwords.
When you join an AD domain, you only need to be authenticated
                        once. After you are authenticated, the Active Directory server automatically
                        authenticates network devices. You can log in to multiple devices
                        on the network with a single domain name and password.
