Defining access rights

About

images/download/attachments/21955230/info_icon.jpg

In order for users to be able to use devices to print or perform other operations, you must assign roles to users, with access rights set for such operations.

  • You set access definitions for user roles and for device groups. For example, by giving printing rights to a role named role1 and to a device group RemoteServer1, users assigned to role1 will be able to print to devices belonging to the device group RemoteServer1. Each device can be in only one group at a time, whereas each user can be assigned several roles. See Managing roles in the Roles list for an overview of roles.

  • See Inheritance and competition among roles for more information.

  • See Identity management for data source information.
