Setting Access Control for NDPS Printers

Printer Access Control Roles

Printer security is ensured through the assignment of the Manager, Operator,
and User access control roles and by the strategic placement of your printers
and printer configurations.
You can assign multiple Printer objects to represent a single Printer Agent.
You can then make different access control assignments to each Printer object.
This can be an especially useful option if you want to allow users in different
containers to use the same printer, because each group of users can be given
different rights to the printer.
A physical printer cannot be a controlled access printer and a public access
printer at the same time. However, if you delete all the Printer objects
representing a Printer Agent, that printer will become a public access printer.
The following sections discuss security options for NDPS printers in more
detail.

Different User, Group, or Container objects can have different access rights to
the same printer. For example, if you want only certain users to be able to send
jobs to a particular printer, you can specify which users should have access and
what access roles each will have.
The following table describes the rights and privileges associated with each of
the NDPS Printer access control roles.
