Site Users

To use the admin browser interface of the server, a user provides a login and password.  This tool is used to add, edit, and delete such user profiles.  Users can be company-specfic users or administrators.  Company users can monitor can manage their own company operations, and administrators can configure the server as well as manage company operations.

Note: a user is different than a location.  Users in CirrusPrint are server interface users who manage aspects of server operation, whereas locations are remote sites or browsers that receive print jobs or document deliveries.

The initial page is a list of known user ID's.  From this page, you can select a user to edit, or add a new user by pressing the Add button.

User ID is the name the user logs in under.

Name is an information field.

Password is the password the user must provide when logging in.  This entry is obscured when editing.  Click the Show Me button to see the password text.  The system doesn't allow a null or space password.  If left empty, a random password is generated when the record is saved.

Admin User, if checked, indicates this user is an administrator.

API User, if checked, indicates this user can access the API.  If the user is also an Admin User, then all API access for all companies is available.  If not, then the API will only allow access to the companies assigned to the user.

Companies enable assignment of non-admin users to specific companies

Allowed From is a list of IP addresses or ranges, such as 192.168.1.240-255, or 10.*.*.*.  If this value is filled in, the user must login from an address matching one of the values.  Note that this is the IP address from the server's viewpoint, which may differ from the user's internal IP address if access is through a router that does address translation.  Also, users who access the server via the Internet will likely have dynamic IP addresses.  This option is most useful for internal networks where IP addresses are managed by an administrator.

User is inactive, if checked, indicates this user can't log in, though the user record remains on file.

Press the Save button to save any changes, or the Delete button to remove an existing record.
