Local Admin User Accounts

System user accounts are local administrators that can login to the SLNX management console and perform tasks based on their assigned roles.

Compared to user accounts in the [User Management] section, local admin accounts can login to the SLNX management console, while user accounts can login to MFP and the user console. The local admin accounts manage the SLNX, while user accounts are end users who own jobs and perform MFP operations such as printing and scanning.

Local admin accounts follow the password policy. For more details, refer to Update the Local Password Policy.
