Allowing specific users access to specific other users print spools and job

[Former Member]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience, or have you impleted a process where you could give specific users access to only specific print spools and background jobs?

We have payroll users in multiple countries and we would like them to be able to view each others print spools and jobs. I have found that using the S_SPO_ACT object I can limit them but then they must specify and authorization each time they print and/or schedule a job.

Does anyone know of a way that wouldn't require a user to specify an autorization? It would be automatic???

Thanks in advance for your help,

Spool requests of other users cannot be displayed by anyone even if no specific value has been set. You always need authorizations in S_SPO_ACT for the username (i.e. spools are protected with the user name by default if no authorization value is specified).

If you do not want to use a defined value as spool authorization that means you need to adjust your authorizations whenever the users in the team change. It is much easier to define an authorization value. That does not necessarily need to be done by the users themselves but can be implemented as coding in the programs creating the spools (if it's sufficient to have this only for a couple of programs).
