A user group consists of one or more users (members) who have the same access rights. Only users that are part of a user group are authorised to access the printer. Users are part of one or more groups.
This example illustrates how users can be distributed across user groups. The circles represent three user groups; the symbols represent user accounts. The table below describes these user accounts.

Factory defined user groups |
[Operators], [Central operators], [Key operators], [Maintenance operators], [System administrators], [Service operators], [Professional Services operators], [Professional Services TIP operators]  NOTE
The user groups [Professional Services operators], [Professional Services TIP operators] are only available on VarioPrint i-series and varioPRINT iX-series. |
Factory defined user groups have one factory defined user account by default. You can add existing or new user accounts to a factory defined user group, except from the group of [Service operators], [Professional Services operators] and [Professional Services TIP operators]. |

Custom user groups |
User groups that you created yourself on PRISMAsync Print Server. |
You can assign custom user accounts and factory defined user accounts to a custom user group. |
|
Domain user groups |
User groups that you added and that belong to a domain. |
The user accounts of a domain user group are defined on an LDAP directory server. |
In the example below you see the factory defined user groups and a domain user group (PRISMAsync Administrators).
