Managing DCE Security for HPDPS
Creating Additional Groups
printers that allow the correct permissions to your printer operator
groups.
1. First, decide which supervisors will contain the physical printers
representing printer devices in a particular printer room. You will
probably want to create new, dedicated supervisors using the
pdstartsuv command.
2. Next, after creating the supervisors but before creating the physical
printers contained in the supervisors, create the printer operator
group for the room.
3. Give the group read and write permission for the DCE printer
directory of each supervisor for the room. See “Giving Your DCE
Groups Permissions to HPDPS Objects” shortly for instructions.
4. Create the physical printers in the supervisors. Create one physical
printer for each printer device in the room. Because you already gave
the printer operator group read and write permission for the DCE
printer directory of each supervisor for the room, the printer
operator group automatically gets read and write permission for
each newly created physical printer.
5. Give each person who is a printer operator for the room membership
in the printer operator group for the room. See the appropriate DCE
documentation for instructions on how to do this.
If you have already created the supervisors and the physical printers
representing the printer devices in the room, you can do the following
tasks:
1. Archive the physical printers (see “Creating Archive Files for
Supervisors and Supervisor Objects” in Chapter 10for information on
how to archive an HPDPS object).
2. Delete the physical printers.
3. Modify the configuration of the security for the supervisors in the
room.
4. In the supervisors, use the physical printer archives to create
physical printers equivalent to those you deleted.
If you have already created physical printers and do not want to delete
them and create them again, you can give the group permission for each
of the physical printers individually. See “Giving Your DCE Groups
