There are many ways to set up an organization. The setup depends on how your company operates and in the case of channel partners, how their customers operate their business.
Consider these factors when managing an organization:
- What printer models will be used?
- Are they all Lexmark models?
- Will third‑party printers be used?
- Will a firewall or proxy server be used?
- What enrollment agents do you plan to use?
- What functions will each user perform as an administrator and as a user?
- Will identity federation be used?
- What embedded applications will be used on the printers?
- Will users need to authenticate at the printer? If yes, how do they plan to authenticate?
- Will Cloud Print Management be used?
- What print management policies will need to be configured?
- How will the user submit print jobs?
- What submission clients will be used?
For channel partners, there are more factors to consider. If you plan to use child organizations, then the answer to each of these questions will help determine the user accounts required in the child organization, if any.
- Will users in the channel partner organization need access to child organizations?
- Who will perform the ongoing management of users in the child organization?
- Will Cloud Print Management be used in the child organization?
- Will the channel partner or someone from the end customer manage Cloud Print Management for the child organization?
