Like any object in the NDS tree NDPS objects can be made available to all users or they can be blocked to stop unauthorised access. There are two types of rights in NDS Security. OBJECT RIGHTS determine what a trustee can do to the object, create, delete or rename and PROPERTY RIGHTS determine what a trustee can do to the properties of an object. Access to print servers can be controlled by the supervisor/administrator to individual users or specific groups. By default, the print server is assigned only to the Administrator and the person who created the printer. There are three roles associated with the security on NDPS objects.

  • Manager - Maintains complete control of the NDPS component
  • Operator - Has administrative control of the NDPS object
  • User - Is granted the privilege to the NDPS object

To add users to the print server start NWAdmin32.

Figure 16 Brother NDPS Gateway Printer Control

The Access Control Tab for the Print Server contains three roles, Manager, Operators and Users. The manager can perform any function required on the printer such as printing, managing other print jobs and changing device drivers. The person who creates the printer is automatically a Manager along with the Administrator. Operators can print their own jobs and other print jobs and pause the printer. The person who created the printer is automatically an operator. By default only the Administrator is assigned the role of manager along with the person who created the printer and has complete control of the Print Server. No other roles are assigned so the person responsible for the Print Server (Administrator) has to manually assign the Printer Operators, Users and if necessary the role of the Manager to a user or group of users.
