Creating and managing Access Control Rules

Access control rules allow you to control the level of access a user or group of users has to the PrinterOn service. Access is controlled by assigning a role (that is, a set of privileges), to a user or user group, for a particular component object of the PrinterOn service (for example, a printer or printer department).

📘 Instructions

Privileges are granted by assigning the user or group to one of the following roles:

  • User: Permits use-only access to an object. For example, a user can print to a printer.

  • Administrator: Permits full administrative access to Configuration Manager.

  • Printer Admin: Limits administrative access to Configuration Manager for the configuration and management of printers.

  • Report Admin: Limits administrative access to Configuration Manager to the generation of reports and audit trail management.

  • User Admin: Limits administrative access to Configuration Manager to the creation and management of PrinterOn user accounts, groups, and access control rules.

If a user is part of two or more access control rules that grant different levels of access for the same object, the rule that grants them the most privileges takes precedence.

If you are using the Internal Users, Azure AD, or some other third-party identity management service, you’ll need to manually define Access Control Rules for your users.

By default, with no access control rules set up, all users are granted User privileges to all printers.
