Access management

摘要

Access control to a networked peripheral device by a walk-up user, wherein the networked peripheral device is accessible by both the walk-up user and a remote user, based on centralized access management information. Access control comprises receiving authenticated information for the walk-up user from the networked peripheral device at a centralized location, determining at a server connected to the network a first level of access to the networked peripheral device, determining at the networked peripheral device a second level of access to the networked peripheral device by the walk-up user based on received access management information for the walk-up user, and allowing the walk-up user to access determined user-available features of the networked peripheral device based on the determined first and second levels of access. <IMAGE>
