The subject application is directed to a method and system for notifying an administrator when a user of a document processing device requests a change in the configuration of the device. A user accesses the device via a user interface, requesting alteration of the device configuration. The user then provides identification information and an authentication server determines whether the identified user is authorized to make the configuration change. Access is denied to unverified or unauthorized users attempting to change the configuration of the device. When the user is verified, but not authorized to make the requested change, the authentication server rejects the request and notifies the administrator of the attempt. When the user is both verified and authorized to make a change, the device configuration is altered, conforming to the requested configuration, and a notice is transmitted to the administrator containing information about the change in configuration.
