How to Limit User Access to a Form

1. Log in as superuser or lp on the print server.

2. Allow or deny users access to a form by using the lpforms command.

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

   -f form-name	Name of the form for which the allow or deny user access list is being created.
   -u allow:user-list	Represents users to be added to the allow access list. Use a comma or a space to separate users' login IDs. If you use spaces, enclose the list of IDs in quotes.   Table 5-5 provides the valid values for user-list.
   deny:user-list	Represents users to be added to the deny user access list. Use a comma or a space to separate users' login IDs. If you use spaces, enclose the list of IDs in quotes. Table 5-5 provides the valid values for user-list.

   The specified user(s) are added to the allow or deny user access list for the specified form in one of the following files on the print server:

   /etc/lp/forms/form-name/allow or

   /etc/lp/forms/form-name/deny

3. Verify the allow and deny user access lists by using the lpforms command.

   # lpforms -f form-name -l
