Xprint V7.0
This chapter describes the concepts of Xprint V7.0, which you must be familiar
with in order to use this product. It describes the objects comprising Xprint V7.0
and provides the basic knowledge you require for administering Xprint V7.0.
5.1 Responsibilities
To allow the privileges and tasks within Xprint V7.0 to be clearly delimited,
several types of Xprint V7.0 user are distinguished:
● users / Xprint V7.0 users
Users, whether registered in the Xprint V7.0 database or not, cannot admin-
ister any Xprint V7.0 objects besides their own print jobs.
● System administrator
Every system administrator (root) of a system may also perform specific
administrative tasks concerning Xprint V7.0 on his/her system. These
tasks include:
– starting and terminating Xprint V7.0 on the local system (commands
xpstart and xpstop). Only the system administrator can start Xprint
V7.0.
– activating and deactivating local printers, supervisors and servers
(xpchange command).
– setting up local Xprint V7.0 objects other than users and the Xprint V7.0
system (xpadd command).
– administering all local Xprint V7.0 objects (commands xpmod and xpdel).
– defining local Xprint V7.0 administrators, who can perform some of the
tasks of the system administrator for the local host (xpmod -hos
command).
● Local Xprint V7.0 administrator (sub-root)
Every system administrator can define one or more local Xprint V7.0 admin-
istrators who are responsible for administering the Xprint V7.0 system
locally.
