What Is Print Security?

Printers on a computer running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation can be protected with special security attributes. When you install Windows NT Server Tools on your Windows 95 computer, you can view these security attributes over the network and change them.

To use any of the Windows NT Server Tools, you must have administrative privileges at the computer you choose to administer.

You can also use Server Manager to administer printers on a computer running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation. Use Server Manager to see who is using shared printers, disconnect users from shared printers, set "share permissions" on all shared printers (as opposed to permissions on the printers themselves) by setting the properties of the "print$" resource, and perform other tasks.

Accessing Print Security Properties

The printer you want to administer must be on a computer running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation.

To change the properties of a shared printer, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators, Server Operators, or Power Users group for the computer/domain you want to administer.  Members of the Administrators group can change share properties on administrative shares, for example, C$.

To edit security properties of a printer

1.	Focus on the printer and look at its Properties dialog box. There are many ways to do this. For example:

Click Start, point at Programs, and then click Windows Explorer. In the left pane, double-click Network Neighborhood. In the right pane, double-click the name of the computer you want to administer. In the right pane again, click the object you want to administer. Click the Properties button on the toolbar.

 - or -

Click Start, point at Find, and then click Computer. Type the name of the computer and then click Find Now. Double-click on the name of the computer. Click the object you want to administer. Click the Properties button on the toolbar.

 - or -

Use either method to specify the computer you want to administer. Click a set of objects you want to administer (for example, press the CTRL key on the keyboard while clicking more than one object). Click the Properties button on the toolbar to view or change properties for all of the objects at once.

2.	In the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab. Now you can change the settings for permissions, auditing, and ownership of the object or set of objects.

3.	For more information about changing security settings, see Windows NT Server documentation or the online Help.

NOTE: The following methods for selecting an object to administer do NOT work:

Administering print queues through the Printers list in My Computer. These print queue objects represent print queues local to your Windows 95 computer, even if the queue is redirected to a Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation print queue.

Using the Windows 3.x Print Manager. It no longer exists in Windows 95; the Printers icon in the Main group of Program Manager is just a shortcut to the Printers list in My Computer.

Using File Manager (WINFILE.EXE) in Program Manager. Installing Windows NT Server Tools does not add a Security menu to File Manager as it did for Windows 3.x.

Setting Printer Permissions

Setting permissions on a printer specifies the access that a group or user has to the printer. Permissions are cumulative except that the No Access permission overrides all other permissions. For example, if a user is a member of a group with Print permission and a member of a group with Manage Documents permission, the user will have Manage Documents permission.

By default, Print permission allows a user to control the printing of his or her own documents.

In a Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation print queue, the creator of the document at the printer can control the document through permissions granted to the Creator Owner. In general, you should not change the permissions granted to the Creator Owner or remove the Creator Owner from the permissions list.

To change permissions on a printer, you must be the owner of the printer, or have been granted Full Control permission.

To view or change printer permissions

1.	Select the printer in the Windows Explorer. You can select multiple printers.

2.	Click the Properties button on the Windows Explorer Toolbar, then select the Security tab of the Properties dialog box.

3.	Click Permissions.

4.	Select the name of a group or user and choose a permission from the Type of Access box.

5.	Click OK.

To remove printer permissions

To remove printer permissions, select the name of the group or user in the Printer Permissions dialog box.  Click Remove.

For help with any dialog box, click Help, or press F1 while using the dialog box.

Auditing a Printer

Auditing a printer allows you to track its usage. Depending on your printer, you can specify which groups or users and which actions to audit. You can audit both successful and failed actions. Windows NT stores the information generated from auditing in a file. You can view the information using Event Viewer.

To audit a printer, you must set the audit policy to audit file and object access. Set the audit policy using User Manager.

To audit printers, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group.

To audit a printer

1.	Select the printer in the Windows Explorer. You can select multiple printers.

2.	Click the Properties button on the Windows Explorer Toolbar, then select the Security tab of the Properties dialog box.

3.	Click Auditing.

4.	Set auditing for each group or user in the list:

Select the name of a group or user, and then select the events to audit for that group or user.

5.	Click OK.

To remove printer auditing for a group or user

In the Printer Auditing dialog box, select the name of the group or user and then click Remove.

Adding Users and Groups to Permissions and Auditing Lists

The Add Users And Groups dialog box is available from the dialog boxes that allow you to change and remove permissions and auditing for users and groups. Use the dialog box to add users and groups to the permissions or auditing list, search for the members of a group, and find the domain to which a group or user belongs.

The Add Users And Groups dialog box displays the groups on the computer or in the domain shown by the List Names From box. Local groups are shown for the computer or domain whose name is followed by an asterisk (*). You can select another domain by using the List Names From box.

Domains appear only if your computer is a member of a domain on a Windows NT Server network. The domains shown have a trust relationship.

To add a user or group to a permissions or auditing list

1.	In either the Printer Permissions or the Printer Auditing dialog box, click Add.

2.	You can use options in the Add Users And Groups dialog box to display users, find the users in a group, or find the domain to which a group or user belongs.

To display the names of users on the selected computer or domain, click Show Users.

To see a group's content, select the group and click Members. Users are listed in a new dialog box. On a Windows NT Server network, global groups that are members of a local group appear in the list. To see a global group's users, select the group and click Members. To include the group in the Add Users And Groups dialog box, click Add. To include some of the group's users, select them and click Add.

To add a group or user, you must know the domain which contains the group's or user's account. On a Windows NT Server network, click Search to find the domain of a group or user. In the Find Account dialog box, type the name of the group or user in the Find User Or Group box and specify the domains you want to search, and then click Search. To include the groups or users in the Add Users And Groups dialog box, select them in the Search Results box and then click Add.

3.	To add groups or users to the list, select them in the Names box and click Add, or double-click the name of the group or user. Or you can type the names of groups and users in the Add Names box.  Separate names with a semicolon.

If the account of the group or user is not located on the computer or domain shown by the List Names From box, you must specify the location. Type the computer or domain name followed by the group or user name and separate the names using a backslash—for example, SHIPPING\ERNESTA. You can type the name without waiting for Windows NT to list groups in the Names box.

4.	If you are adding users or groups to a permissions list, select the permission for the groups or users shown in the Add Names box by using the Type of Access box.

5.	Click OK.

For help with any dialog box, click Help, or press F1 while using the dialog box.


Taking Ownership of a Printer

When you create a printer queue (by sharing a printer), you become the owner of it. By granting permissions, the owner controls who can use or administer the printer. The owner can grant permission to another user to take ownership of the printer. Otherwise, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to take ownership.

Although an administrator can take ownership, an administrator cannot transfer ownership to others. This preserves security. For example, only an administrator who takes ownership and changes permissions can gain access to a printer on which you have set No Access permission. By checking the ownership of the printer, you would see the ownership change and know who had violated the permission you set on the printer. To make sure that your printers are secure, you should check their ownership regularly.

The owner of a printer can always change the permissions set on the printer. If you have Full Control permission for a printer, you can take ownership of it. Otherwise, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to take ownership.

To take ownership of a printer

1.	Select the printer in the Windows Explorer. You can select multiple printers.

2.	Click Properties on the Windows Explorer Toolbar, then select the Security tab of the Properties dialog box.

3.	Click Ownership.

4.	Click Take Ownership.

For help with the Owner dialog box, click the Help button, or press F1 while using the dialog box.
