Administering permission lists Configuring Xprint V7.0
6.7.4 Granting 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]
