[U2] Universe/AIX Spooler Management
Does a user need administrator privileges
It's an AIX thing.

Strange, there is no printq group in my group file. Running Solaris 8.
What
I had to do is create a spooler group in the admin menu and add the users
to
it. I think I also had to add the users to the sys group.

Louis,
In AIX a user needs to have the group printq added to their account. This will allow
them to access all the print queues and to manage them. I do not use Universe but
Unidata. And from there we enter shell commands to manage the spool queue.

I think you need SU to run lpalt (move jobs), but not cancel (delete jobs)
.. I use sudo to give my admin guys priviliges to do all of the commands
they need ..

Just add the users you want to manage the spooler to the printq group in
the /etc/group file

Louis,
We would like to have our tech person handle all spooler matters, but we don't want to
give him administrator rights.
Please advice on the best way to handle this.
Have you looked at the Role based security access in SMIT? This may
allow you to make someone a spooler administrator without

Jerry, Lloyd is providing specific information for AIX. That advice does
not apply to Solaris at all. AIX manages printers in a completely different
way to any other UNIX variant I know of.
Cheers,
