Create Administrator, User, and Device Accounts
SMARTsend administrators, users, and the Xerox Multifunction Devices used with SMARTsend must be
authenticated with a valid Windows account in order to obtain access to the SMARTsend computer. The
Windows system that hosts SMARTsend can either be a standalone system or a member of a domain, but it
cannot be a domain controller.

Windows system that hosts SMARTsend can either be a standalone system or a member of a domain, but it
cannot be a domain controller.
Consider the following issues when determining your site-specific requirements for SMARTsend accounts:
All members of the Administrator group on the SMARTsend computer have SMARTsend
administrative privileges while all members of the Users group have SMARTsend user privileges. The
computer administrator can use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Computer Management
snap-in to create, view, or modify the accounts that provide access to the SMARTsend computer. See
Account Creation and Management on page 2-14 for instructions.

Account Creation and Management on page 2-14 for instructions.
If you install the SMARTsend on a standalone computer, on a network that does not use a domain, or
where users are outside of the domain (or its trusted domains), then you must create local accounts for
the SMARTsend administrators and users.

the SMARTsend administrators and users.
If you configure the SMARTsend computer as a member of a domain or trusted domain, then the
domain security group (Domain Users) joins the computer’s Users group by default. If you take no
further action, all domain members will have access to the SMARTsend site in accordance with their
existing domain privileges. The domain account provides authorized users with access to resources
within the domain and any trusted domains. If needed, local accounts can also be added manually.

When devices are configured within SMARTsend, local user Device Accounts are automatically created
on the SMARTsend computer for each supported protocol. In most cases, no further configuration is
required for Device Accounts. See Manage Device Accounts on page 4-15 for additional information.

When SMARTsend is installed on a computer which is not a member of a domain, it is
recommended that a full backup be made of the host computer after users have been created via MMC. In
the event of a system crash, such as a hard drive failure, the computer should be restored from this full
backup. This will ensure that user accounts in SMARTsend will continue to match those on the standalone
computer.
