On some printer models, there is no default administrator user. The Guest user has open access and is not logged in. This setup grants the user access to all printer permissions and access controls. MVE handles this risk through default configurations. After a fresh installation, two advanced security components are created automatically. Each component contains the default security settings and preconfigured local administrator account. You can use these security components when creating a configuration, and then deploy and enforce the configuration to the new printers.

From the Configurations menu, click

All Advanced Security Components

.

This security component contains a User Name/Password Local Account called

admin

.

The

admin

account is a member of the Admin Group, whose permissions include function access controls and permissions to secure the printer and restrict public access. For more information, see .Understanding permissions and function access controls

Before adding this component to a configuration, make sure to set the

admin

password and the printer credentials.

This security component contains a security template called Admin Password Protected that is configured with a Password Local Account.

This security template is applied to the following access controls:

The remaining access controls are set to

No Security

. However, you can always set the other administrative printer menus to use the security template for more protection. For more information on the access controls, see .Understanding permissions and function access controls

Before adding this component to a configuration, make sure to set the password and the printer credentials.
