Direct Print roles

Users given access to the Direct Print feature of Cloud Print Management must have at least one of the following roles based on tasks that they plan to perform:

  • Users submitting and releasing print jobs using Direct Print must have the Direct Print Management User role.
  • Users managing Print Management for their organization must have the Direct Print Management Administrator role.
  • Users generating organizational Cloud Print Management reports but do not have the Direct Print Management Administrator role must have the Print Release Management Reporting Analyst role.
  • Channel partners who manage printers in their customers’ organizations must be members of a Child Organization Access Group. The group must have the Direct Print Management Administrator role assigned to it.
  • Notes:

    • Before a channel partner can administer Cloud Print Management in a customer organization, you must enable Cloud Print Management in the channel partner’s organization. For more information, see Assigning roles.
    • For more information on roles, see Understanding roles.

Assigning roles

User roles are managed from the Account Management portal. You can assign roles to the users in the following ways:

  • Assigned roles individually—Requires that assigning roles manually to each user.
  • Assigned roles through groups—Allows a set of roles to be given to users by making them a member of a group. Users can be members of more than one group.
  • Inheritance through organization roles—Automatically assigns the organization roles to all users in the organization.

The assignment method depends upon the needs of the organization. For more information, see Assigning roles.
