The use case is that a standard use should (optionally) be able to manage his printers without requiring the administrator.
The "optionally" is the crucial word here! The system admin (i.e. the person who set up the system) can of course delegate his permissions and set up appropriate stuff in cupsd.conf so that whatever users on whatever hosts are allowed to do whatever the system admin likes, see my mail dated 6 Mar 2007. The crucial point is that it is under the system admin's control who is allowed to do what and that the system admin is aware of the consequences, for example http://www.cups.org/str.php?L790 ------------------------------------------------------------------- the CUPS admin user can copy this way any printout to any place he likes (e.g. send it via mail to any external address ... ------------------------------------------------------------------- If any user could change any print queue, any user could copy any printout. Note the "copy" which means that it is also correctly printed on the printer so that an innocent other user would not notice that his printout was copied. I assume this is not what we want to have by default to make our customers happy in big networks with hundreds of printers ;-) Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
