Authorization - HP 9000 User Manual

Authorization

The administrator configures each HPDPS host to run in one of two
environments: the Basic Environment or the DCE Extended
Environment.
The Basic Environment is used when your host is not a member of a
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) cell. In the Basic
Environment, only the root login may create, modify, or delete HPDPS
objects; all other logins are not authorized to perform these operations.
All logins are authorized to print to each printer defined on the host, and
may use all initial-value-job and initial-value-document objects. All
logins are also authorized to list the attributes of all objects defined on
the host with the pdls command.
The DCE Extended Environment is used when your host is a member of
a DCE cell. Your level of authorization is determined by your DCE login.
In the DCE Extended Environment, there are three levels of security:
Administrator Can create, modify, and delete HPDPS objects.
Operator Can modify HPDPS objects, but not create or delete
them.
User Can perform those operations for which an HPDPS
administrator gives authorization. Normally, a user is
not given authorization to create, modify, or delete
HPDPS objects, other than his own jobs and
documents.
If a user is not logged in to DCE, he may be able to
access certain logical printers that have been
configured not to require DCE authorization. If so, he
may also access his own jobs and documents sent to
those printers. A user cannot access any logical
printers that are configured to require DCE
authorization.
The administrator for your system will provide the proper authorizations
for you depending on your job responsibilities. Another person cannot
change the condition of your jobs unless that person has the proper
authorization to do so. See HP Distributed Print Service Administration
Guide for information on security and how authorization is set and
controlled.
