    determining, at the server, a first level of access to the networked peripheral device available to the walk-up user based on the access management information;

    transmitting access management information for the walk-up user to the networked peripheral device a centralized location indicative of the determined first level of access;

    determining, at the networked peripheral device, a second level of access to the networked peripheral device available to the walk-up user based on the received access management information; and

    allowing the walk-up user to access to the networked peripheral device based on the first and second determined levels of access.
