User management

This section covers some of the more advanced user management tasks. On large networks managing users on an individual basis is not practical. Management needs to be handled either via a level of automation, or manually at group level. Some common user management tasks that typically consume time on a large network include:

• Creating new user accounts
• Allocating user credit or quotas.
• Performing administration tasks such as allocating additional allowances or applying different privileges.
• Generating or allocating card/ID numbers for users

PaperCut NG/MF offers a number of features to help automate these tasks.
