Our Ricoh Aficio 3030 has something like that. It's an option you can 
enable when using the windows driver to identify a job and apply security 
measures on it. 

Those machines have their own samba implementation, ldap, hard disk and 
so on... they act as a central hub for managing all the jobs and tasks 
(scanning, faxing and printing) so you can create users and groups and 
grating them different permission levels based on their credentials.
