How to Limit User Access to a Form

1. Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server.

2. Allow or deny users access to a form.

   # lpforms -f form-name -u allow:user-list | deny:user-list

   -f

   Specifies the name of the form for which the allow user access lists or the deny user access list is being created.

   -u allow:user-list

   Represents users to be added to the allow user access list. Use a comma or a space to separate user login IDs. If you use spaces, enclose the list of IDs in quotation marks.

   Table 5–5 provides the valid values for user-list.

   -u deny:user-list

   Represents users to be added to the deny user access list. Use a comma or a space to separate user login IDs. If you use spaces, enclose the list of IDs in quotation marks. Table 5–5 provides the valid values for user-list.

   The specified users are added to the appropriate user access list for the specified form in one of the following files on the print server:

   • /etc/lp/forms/form-name/allow

   • /etc/lp/forms/form-name/deny

3. Verify that the allow user access list and deny user access list are set up correctly.

   # lpforms -f form-name -l
