Administering permission lists

Configuring Xprint V7.0

6.7.4Granting or denying specific users access to a printer

If you want to grant only specific users access to a printer, you can assign a permission list to the printer. To do this, proceed as follows:

Select a suitable allowed list containing exactly those users who are to be granted access to the printer, or select a denied list containing all those users who are to be denied access to the printer, respectively. A list of all permission lists can be displayed with the following command:

xpshow -prm

If there is no suitable list defined in the Xprint V7.0 system, you can create one yourself (see section “Creating a permission list” on page 144).

Deactivate the desired printer(s): xpchange -dev [selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE

If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the printers in the local Xprint V7.0 system. Otherwise you can either specify a list of the printers you want to assign a permission list to, or you can use the -scl“selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the relevant printers are selected.

Assign the selected permission list to the desired printer(s): xpmod -dev [selection] -up list_name

list_name is the name of the selected permission list.

Reactivate the printer(s): xpchange -dev [selection]
