Connect users
Import identities from directories, Excel or other center providers.
On-Premise
User management
Users, authentication, portal and cards designed for centers with students, teachers, administration and visitors.
PryntControl centralizes user management so the center can import identities from its directories, enable self-service and let each user work with their account, balance, limits, print jobs and scans.
Overview
Identities connected to the center real operation
User management is not just about creating accounts. PryntControl can synchronize users, authenticate them against external providers, give them access to their portal and simplify registration or card linking when the environment needs it.
External directories
Active Directory, LDAP, Azure Entra ID, Excel and other sources.
User portal
Reports, limits, Webprynt and scan collection in one place.
Self-registration
Useful for visitors, coworking spaces and users with online top-up.
Card linking
Unknown cards can be linked after user authentication.
Index
User management features
From corporate directories to self-registration and proximity cards, each block reduces manual work and improves the user experience.
External identities
User synchronization from external providers
Import users from directories and authenticate them against those systems.
PryntControl can import users from external directories such as Active Directory, LDAP, Azure Entra ID or Excel files. This lets the center keep users in its main system while PryntControl uses that information for permissions, quotas, cards and print rules.
- Import from Active Directory, LDAP, Azure Entra ID, Excel and other sources.
- User and group synchronization to keep information updated.
- Authentication against external providers when the center needs it.
- Common base for permissions, quotas, reports and printer access.
Self-service
User portal
Each user can access their web area as soon as the account exists.
The user portal lets people review personal reports, check current limits or balance, print through Webprynt and collect scanned documents from PryntControl. It is the self-service point that reduces support requests and administrative work.
- Automatic portal access when the user exists in PryntControl.
- Review reports, consumption, balance or current usage limit.
- Web printing with Webprynt without installing drivers.
- Collection of scanned documents from the portal.
Autonomous signup
Self-registration
Let users create their own account from the portal login screen.
PryntControl can enable self-registration in the portal. If a person does not have an account, they can create it from the login screen. This is especially useful in coworking spaces, libraries or environments with external users: the user signs up with an initial balance of EUR 0 and can later top up by credit card.
- Account creation from the portal login screen.
- Ideal for coworking spaces, libraries, visitors or external users.
- Initial creation with EUR 0 balance.
- Ready to combine with online balance top-up by credit card.
Proximity cards
Card self-assignment
Users can link an unknown card directly from the printer.
If printers have proximity card readers and a user presents a card that PryntControl does not recognize, the system asks for authentication. Once the user signs in, the card is linked to their account and can be used later across compatible devices.
- Detection of unregistered cards on proximity readers.
- Authentication request to validate the user identity.
- Automatic card linking with the user account.
- Later use across all devices where PryntControl is available.
Flow
How the user lifecycle is activated
Apply rules
Associate permissions, quotas, limits and printer access by user or group.
Enable self-service
Users use their portal to print, check consumption and collect scans.
Reduce manual work
Self-registration and card self-assignment avoid manual account and card tasks.
