About access definitions

In order for users to be able to use devices to print or perform other operations, you must assign the specific user role access for the appropriate operation.

Access definitions are assigned for specific user roles and for devices in Spooler Controller group. For example, by giving printing rights to a role named role1 and to a Spooler Controller group RemoteServer1, users assigned to role1 will be able to print on devices that are part of the Spooler Controller group RemoteServer1.

More details about inheritance and competition among roles can be found in the article Inheritance and competition among roles.
