** Summary changed: - Changes needed for sudo model + gnome-cups-manager doesn't let regular users "become administrator" for admin tasks
** Description changed: - gnome-cups-manager on Breezy needs some changes for sudo model. + gnome-cups-manager needs some changes for sudo model. BECOME ADMINISTRATOR Current situation: a normal user that is NO member of group lpadmin and NO member of group admin sees "Edit -> Become Administrator" and "Printer Properties: Become Administrator". Clicking either asks only for a password via gksudo, the user enters his password and then gnome-cups-manager just quits. Solution: * Clicking "Edit -> Become Administrator" should show a username+password dialog (gksuexec) to execute gnome-cups-manager as a printer administrator (member of group lpadmin). * "Edit -> Become Administrator" and "Printer Properties: Become Administrator" should only be visible if the user executing gnome-cups-manager is currently not logged in as administrator. NEW PRINTER Current situation: Clicking "New Printer" as normal user (NO member of group admin and lpadmin) doesn't do anything. If user is member of group admin and NO member of group lpadmin then no password is asked when clicking "New Printer" and gnome-cups-add is immediately shown and lets you add a printer. If user is member of group lpadmin then no password is asked when clicking "New Printer" and gnome-cups-add is immediately shown and lets you add a printer. Solution: * "New Printer" should only be visible if user executing gnome-cups-manager is member of group lpadmin. * Always ask for password to make the user realise that he is doing an administrative task. RIGHT CLICK: REMOVE Current situation: Right Clicking "Remove" on a printer as normal user (NO member of group admin and lpadmin) doesn't do anything. If user is member of group admin and NO member of group lpadmin then "Remove" is grayed out, clicking "Edit -> Become Administrator" ask for you password and then lets a user remove a printer immediately by right clicking "Remove". If user is member of group lpadmin then no password is asked when clicking "Remove" and the printer is removed immediately. Solution: * "Remove" should only be visible if user executing gnome-cups-manager is member of group lpadmin. * Always ask for password to make the user realise that he is doing an administrative task. RIGHT CLICK: PAUSE / RESUME Current situation: Right Clicking shows "Pause" and "Resume" for a printer as normal user (NO member of group admin and lpadmin), a normal user cannot pause or resume the printer. If user is member of group admin and NO member of group lpadmin then "Pause / Resume" is grayed out, clicking "Edit -> Become Administrator" ask for you password and then lets you pause or resume the printer by right clicking. If user is member of group lpadmin and right clicking on a printer he sees "Pause / Resume" not grayed out and it's immediately possible to pause or resume the printer. Solution: * "Pause / Resume" should only be visible if user executing gnome-cups-manager is member of group lpadmin. * Clicking "Pause / Resume" if user executing gnome-cups-manager is member of group lpadmin should ask for password to make the user realise that he is doing an administrative task. * "Pause / Resume" should be possible without password after selecting "Edit -> Become Administrator" and entering username/password of an lpadmin. PRINTER PROPERTIES WINDOW Current situation: If the user is member of group lpadmin then Driver and Connection tabs are shown that let you change printer driver and printer port. This should only be allowed when administrating a printer and not all the time! No system-wide printer option settings possible via gnome-cups-manager, all printer options are stored user specific in ~/.lpoptions Solution for Printer properties window: * Should be shown as the user executing gnome-cups-manager (no Driver and Connection tab) and allow user specific printing options that are stored in ~/.lpoptions * Only show button "Become Administrator" if user executing gnome-cups-manager is currently not logged in as administrator. * If shown as administrator (by clicking button "Become Administrator" or by selecting Edit -> Become Administrator) the Driver and Connection tab should be visible and system-wide printer option settings should be made that are stored in /etc/cups/lpoptions ** Tags added: printer sudo -- gnome-cups-manager doesn't let regular users "become administrator" for admin tasks https://launchpad.net/bugs/24887 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
