Administrative Security

Administrative Security restricts what folders and printers Admin Console Non-Administrator users can see, and sets their role over the object. By default, all users with the Administrator role are included along with any Non-Administrator users who have been assigned to the folder or printer. For more details about user roles, see Role-Based Access Control.

Key Points

• The user or group must exist on the Tools Users page.
• Users or groups with the Administrator role have access to all objects within the Admin Console.
• Add users or groups with Non-Administrator roles to the desired object(s).
• Administrative Security applies to folders, printers, and IP Address Range objects.

Assignment Types

There are two assignment types in Administrative Security:

• Inherited — user has permissions at the global level, as in the case of Administrators, or user has permissions inherited from a parent folder, as in the case of folders assigned to Non-Administrators.
• Explicit — user was assigned directly to the folder, printer, or IP Address range.
