If your Mac has multiple users, you should set up an account for each person so each can personalize settings and options without affecting other users. You can let occasional users log in as guests without access to other users’ files or settings. You can also create groups and choose automatic login options. You must be an administrator of your Mac to perform these tasks.
Both standard users and administrators can join network account servers.

PRODUCTS FEATURED
A workgroup environment differs from a network domain model. In the domain model, users authenticate using a common username/password as defined in a central server. Users can typically access and use any PC on the network by using their username and password. In a workgroup, the computers are loosely coupled and user identity is validated locally rather than centrally. The computers are either set up to automatically log in as a general “user”, or user accounts are set up on the computers as required.
Users can still authenticate with PaperCut NG/MF on Windows by entering their details into the User Client utility. For more information see Option 2: Authenticating via popup.
PaperCut NG/MF offers a number of options for running and authenticating users in a workgroup. The two common options are:
Option 1: Common username and passwords on all systems

Option 2: Authenticating via popup
