Creating user-defined profiles
To create a customized profile, the administrator can copy and edit any security profile according to the needs of the customer environment. This new user profile can be selected, edited, set as current, set as default, or deleted.
Setting the current and default profiles
The administrator can select any profile and set it as the Current Profile. This Current Profile persists throughout Xerox FreeFlow Print Server restarts and system reboot until it is changed by the administrator. Similarly, the administrator can specify a security profile as a Default Profile.
Specifying a profile as default does not enable the profile, but indicates that it will be the profile setting across Xerox FreeFlow Print Server upgrades. By clicking the Restore Default Profile, the Default profile can be selected as the Current profile (this operation will take several minutes to complete).
Account management
Any interaction between a user and the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server is associated with a user account and is done via a logon session, which is the basis for granting access.
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server user accounts are defined either locally at the device or remotely at a trusted network location like ADS. The local user account is composed of a logon user name and an assigned user group. A user account can be a member of only one user group. It is the user group that is associated with a security profile that defines the privileges of the group.
Default user accounts are provided to allow easy transition from legacy Xerox FreeFlow Print Server versions. For customers that do not require authentication, the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server can be configured to have the system automatically log on using a default user account.
Local users and groups
Local user accounts are constructed based on the Solaris operating system model, with its limitations and restrictions, using the [Users & Groups] selection on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server interface.
•Each local user account has an associated user name
