[cups.general] Printer Policies for the Web Interface

[Philipp Richter]

Hi,

Is it possible to apply rules like the operation policies (which are for IPP 
printing only) to the web interface?

Here is what I try to accomplish: Our customer has a central (clustered) CUPS 
server which acts as print server for it's 10 departments. Each department 
has it's own administrator which should be able to do the usual 
administration tasks (stop/start printer, cance/move jobs, etc.) on the web 
interface, but only for it's own printers. Each department has it's own 
network, so they are easily distinguished. Only the master admin should be 
allowed to create printers.

If this is not possible i thought about running multiple instances of cups, 
each with it's own configuration and do the ip redirection with firewall 
rules. this should be possible with cups but of course i would like to avoid 
this.

cheers,
