NDPS® is designed to take full advantage of eDirectoryTM. You receive all the benefits of eDirectory security and the easy management provided by the industry's most advanced and robust directory service. The Access Control feature for NDPS allows you to specify the access each User, Group, or container object will have to your NDPS printing resources.
Access control roles are mutually exclusive, even though the same individual might need to perform tasks reserved for different roles. For example, only printer Managers can add or delete printer Operators or printer Users. In a similar way, Managers and Operators must also be designated as Users for a printer before they can submit print jobs to it.
In actual implementation, the NDPS defaults prevent most problems that might occur from these distinctions. For example, a printer Manager is automatically designated an Operator and User as well, while an Operator of a printer is automatically designated a User of that printer also. You cannot remove the User role from an Operator, and you cannot remove the Operator and User roles from a Manager.
The creator of an NDPS object is automatically granted privileges for all available roles for the type of object being created.
The following sections illustrate some of the security issues and features you might find useful as you plan your NDPS setup.
