When you create a group, you define its privileges. You can add new or existing users to the group when you create it, or you can create a group without adding users and then add them later.

1. To restrict printing to only authorized users, from Configure, in Security > Printing Privileges set Allow printing from to Authorized users.

   • If All users is selected, anyone can print to the Fiery server, regardless of whether you define that person as a user, add users to a group, or assign privileges to the groups.

   • If Authorized users is selected, only users in groups for which you have enabled printing privileges can print. Also, users in the Guests group cannot print, unless you otherwise set printing privileges for the Guests group. By default, the Guests group has no printing privileges.

   Note: If your printer also offers a user authentication method, you may not be able to use both the printer and the Fiery server authentication methods simultaneously.
2. In User Accounts, click Add Group.

   The current list of groups is displayed, including several default groups.

3. In the Add Group dialog box, enter a group name and a description.
4. Select the appropriate privileges for the group.
   Note: These privileges may not be supported on all Fiery servers.

   • Calibration - Allows members of this group to calibrate the Fiery server. For default groups, only Administrator and Operator groups have this privilege. For user-created groups, users have this privilege.

   • Create Server Presets - Allows members of this group to save a set of print options that users can select for their job.

   • Fiery Mailbox - Allows members of this group to have individual mailboxes for scanning.

   • Manage Workflows - Allows members of this group to create, edit, and delete Server Presets and virtual printers.

   • Print in B&W - Restricts members to print only in black and white.

   • Print in Color and B&W - Allows members to print in color and grayscale.

   Note: If Allow printing from is set to Authorized users, the Fiery server still allows jobs to be submitted without authentication from Hot Folders.
5. Do one of the following:

   • To create the group without adding users, click Save.

   • To add users to the group, click Save and Add Users.

   If you choose Save and Add Users, the Assign User dialog box displays.
6. In the Assign User dialog box, add or remove users from one of the following: the Fiery Contact List or Global Address List.
   • Fiery Contact List - Contains users that you have already created.
   • Global Address List - LDAP must be configured and enabled. Contains names from your organization's corporate database.

   Groups created in Configure that share domain groups obtained from the corporate server via LDAP are updated dynamically. This is useful because the Fiery server automatically verifies changes (such as additional group members) in the LDAP domain groups and updates the Fiery server group.
