Authorization

When the authorization application setting is enabled in DRS, the Unified Client for HP offers different levels of authorization, which control how users access the applications on the device. Authorization profiles are set when applications are created or configured, then assigned at device or device group level. You can set the authorization level while creating a Unified Client for HP application.

The following authorization profiles are available:

  • Administrator authorization: Specific applications and features are locked for administrators only. These items are denoted with a lock icon on the device. After logging in, users can access all other device applications.
  • User authorization: All applications and features are available to users after logging in.
    This profile allows Kofax users access to device configuration settings.
  • Guest authorization: Users do not need to log in to use device features and applications. Some applications, such as device settings, are restricted to administrators. Applications and features that are specific to the Unified Client for HP are not available to guest users; users must always log in.

If you want to change the authorization level in DRS, you can change it and update the application using the Update Configuration action.

If you do not want to enable authorization or if you remove Kofax Authorization from a device that previously had it, you need to use another service outside of the Unified Client for HP to configure access to device functions. The Unified Client must be locked to User access and the Kofax application used for login.
