<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for notifying an administrator, when a user of a document processing device, such as a multifunction peripheral device, requests a change in the configuration of the document processing device. <P>SOLUTION: The user accesses the document processing device and requests configuration changes in the device. The user then provides identification information verifying the identity of the user. An authentication server then determines whether the identified user is allowed to make the change in the device configuration. Access is denied to unverified or unauthorized users attempting to change the configuration. When the user is verified but is not authorized to make the requested changes, the authentication server rejects the change and notifies the administrator of the attempt to change the configuration. When the user is both verified and the authorized requested changes are executed, the device configuration is subsequently altered, conforming to that requested configuration, and a notice is transmitted to the administrator. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
