How To Give Access Permission To Administrators To Manage Auto-created Printers

Thursday, 08 December 2005 by Michel Roth

New auto-created printer architecture introduced in Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 is enhanced in security to prevent the handling or access to auto-created printers from unintended users (or scripts). Auto-created printer securities are set in each session when the ICA session is established. Therefore, even an administrator could not manage auto-created printer properties within ICA sessions though an administrative account on Presentation Server.

In addition, this security context is applied even when applying Legacy client printers rules. An administrator cannot make any change to the auto-created printers configuration with an administrative account on Presentation Server like you can do with the previous version of Presentation Server. This is by design.

The following explains how to give the permission to an administrator who wants to manage users� auto-created printer properties.
