33-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery functions. The Fiery allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:

Administrator—remotely from Command WorkStation, or locally from the Control Panel

Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery. If you do not specifically set passwords, all users will have administrator privileges, which include access to important functions such as Setup (including setting passwords), and job control. We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the Fiery from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator privileges

Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control, since the person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management environment. Administrator privileges include publishing print connections, setting passwords, deleting fonts, controlling print jobs from the job management tools, overriding job settings, clearing the Fiery of all job data, performing calibration, defining default colour profiles, and setting default values for print options.

Operator privileges

Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools, including the ability to override job settings.

Guest privileges (no password)

No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from the job management tools. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the Fiery state.
