Printing

Users have different levels of access to manage a printer job queue depending on their security permissions.

Users working with printer queues are typically separated into two groups:

  • Administrative users: These users have Manage Printers and Manage Documents permissions. They have wide control over how the printer operates, regardless of where the print job originated.

  • General users: These users have Print permissions, which include viewing general information about a printer and managing documents that they send to the printer. They cannot control other peoples print jobs.
