Setting up Custom-privileges Administrator role

Overview

This role is also known as Flex Admin Role (FAR). 

FAR allows you to assign specific administrator privileges to a specific group of users. When logged in as standard users at the MFD, they will have the option to enter the Admin mode and modify the MFD settings that you have specified in the role.
