Authorization Groups for Output Devices
Using the Authorization group configuration field, you can group output devices according to particular functions, for example. Users may print on all output devices in such a group, provided that they have authorization to do so.
When
defining output devices, you can enter an authorization group. The group names are in the same namespace as the names of the output devices. You can also use the same names.Instead of entering an output device explicitly in a user authorization, you can now specify an authorization group. During the authorization check the system uses authorization object S_SPO_DEV for the output devices as well as the authorization groups. This checks authorization for the relevant output device as well as the authorization group.
If you use the name of an existing output device as the group name, usage authorization for this device can no longer be assigned separately. The authorization still applies for all devices in this group.
