Page 50 highlights

Identifying users and groups: wildcarding When you add users to ACLs or Security groups, you identify them by their user ID and the computer that they work on in this format: username@computername. The permissions you assign will only apply when that person accesses InfoPrint Manager from that workstation. Note: The computername that you specify must be the fully qualified name of the workstation, for example: joescomputer.infoprint.com If, however, you or any of your users want to be able to work with InfoPrint Manager objects from various workstations, you might not want to add multiple user ID/computer name combinations for the same person- you can use wildcarding instead. When you use wildcarding, you replace the computer name or user ID with the wildcard character (*) when you add a member to an ACL or Security Group. The wildcard character stands for "any computer" or "any user ID." So, if you create an ACL member called Administrator@*, no matter what computer you log on to as Administrator, you have the same permissions. If you use the wildcard character before the computer name, for example *@computer1, any user who logs on to computer1 can perform the actions that the ACL member has permission for. Working with ACLs and groups Use the InfoPrint Manager Management Console to manage the security of your print system. Open the Security folder in the left pane of the Management Console to display the Access Control Lists folder and Groups object. Open the Access Control Lists folder to see the types of ACLs that exist. Click the type of ACL (Operations, Destinations, Servers, or Queues) to display the ACLs that exist. Click Groups to see the groups that currently exist and their members. For more detailed information about using the Management Console to work with groups and ACLs, see the online help (in the Management Console, click Help -> Contents, and look on the Contents tab under Managing Security). 32 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures

Identifying users and groups: wildcarding
When you add users to ACLs or Security groups, you identify them by their user
ID and the computer that they work on in this format:
username
@
computername
.
The permissions you assign will only apply when that person accesses InfoPrint
Manager from that workstation.
Note:
The
computername
that you specify must be the fully qualified name of the
workstation, for example: joescomputer.infoprint.com
If, however, you or any of your users want to be able to work with InfoPrint
Manager objects from various workstations, you might not want to add multiple
user ID/computer name combinations for the same person— you can use
wildcarding instead. When you use wildcarding, you replace the computer name
or user ID with the wildcard character (*) when you add a member to an ACL or
Security Group. The wildcard character stands for “any computer” or “any user
ID.” So, if you create an ACL member called
Administrator@*
, no matter what
computer you log on to as
Administrator
, you have the same permissions. If you
use the wildcard character before the computer name, for example
*@computer1
,
any user who logs on to computer1 can perform the actions that the ACL member
has permission for.
Working with ACLs and groups
Use the InfoPrint Manager Management Console to manage the security of your
print system. Open the
Security
folder in the left pane of the Management Console
to display the Access Control Lists folder and Groups object. Open the Access
Control Lists folder to see the types of ACLs that exist. Click the type of ACL
(
Operations
,
Destinations
,
Servers
, or
Queues
) to display the ACLs that exist.
Click
Groups
to see the groups that currently exist and their members.
For more detailed information about using the Management Console to work with
groups and ACLs, see the online help (in the Management Console, click
Help ->
Contents
, and look on the
Contents
tab under
Managing Security
).
