Print Permissions Technology
88
MVP’s Print Permissions Technology is separated into two related tasks that control user access to
color printing, the Users Table task and the Hosts Table task. The Users Table displays and controls
basic user access to color printing. Adding a user’s ID to the Users Table lets you specify the user’s
color permission (whether that user may print with color or not). The Hosts Table takes color print
permissions a step further by controling print permissions on a specific host computer. This allows
you to override user level permissions on a specific host computer. As a result, if a user with access
to the Users Table task had set their color permissions to “On,” the color permission for their host
computer could still be disabled by setting the Color permission to “Off” and the Override permission
to “On” in the Hosts Table.
The following tables illustrate some Print Permission settings.
