Setting printer access permissions

Setting printer access permissions

Network printers are shared resources. As such, you can set access permissions for them. You set access permissions in the Properties dialog box of the printer you’re configuring. Open the printer’s Properties dialog box, and then tap or click the Security tab. Permissions that you can grant or deny for printers are Print, Manage Documents, and Manage This Printer. Table 10-2 summarizes the capabilities of these permissions.

TABLE 10-2 Printer permissions used by Windows Server 2012 R2

The default permissions are used for any new network printer you create. These settings are as follows:

? Members of the Administrators, Print Operators, and Server Operators groups have full control over printers by default. This makes it possible for you to administer a printer and its print jobs.

? The creator or owner of the document can manage his or her own document. This enables the person who printed a document to change its settings and to delete it.

? Everyone can print to the printer. This makes the printer accessible to all users on the network.

As with other permission sets, you create the basic permissions for printers by combining special permissions into logical groups. Table 10-3 shows special permissions used to create the basic permissions for printers. By using Advanced permission settings, you can assign these special permissions individually if necessary.
