PaperCut NG sets up one administrator account called “admin”. This is the master administrator account, with access to all features, whose password is assigned during the configuration wizard. In large organizations it is likely that administrator level access will need to be granted to more than one person. One solution is to give all persons the master password; however the recommended approach is to assign administrator rights to these individual's network user accounts. The advantages of this approach are:
They can access the administration pages using their own username and password (they don't have to remember another password!).
Different levels of administrator access can be assigned to different users. PaperCut NG includes an advanced Access Control List (ACL) allowing different administrators access to different functions and areas of the application.
Most activity is audited so changes can be sourced to an individual.
For more information see the section called “Assigning Administrator Level Access”.
