Settings when Using a Login Service Other Than User Authentication
When using Department ID Management with a login service other than User Authentication, make sure that the administrator (System Manager) manages the Department IDs and PINs. To enhance security, make sure to log in with the System Manager ID immediately after starting to use the login service other than User Authentication and change the System Manager ID and PIN.
Which users become administrator or general users depends on whether Department ID Management and System Manager Settings are set, as indicated in the table below.
Department ID Management | System Manager Settings | Administrator | General Users |
On | Set | System Manager | Users authenticated with a Department ID and PIN not for the System Manager |
Not Set | Users authenticated with a Department ID and PIN | None |
Off | Set | System Manager | Users other than the System Manager |
Not Set | All users | None |
Changing the System Manager ID and PIN
