Printers

In order to manage printers as network resources in Bravura Security Fabric, the server to which the printer is attached must be a member of the domain.

To set up printers in your Active Directory domain:

  1. Configure the groups that will be granted access to the printer; ensure that each group has a description and an owner.

    Using Active Directory Users and Computers:

    1. Right-click the group, then select Properties.

      The < group> Properties window appears.

    2. Click the General tab. If required, type a Description that will be displayed to users.

    3. Click the Managed By tab. If required, click Change, then type the name of the user you want to designate as the group owner, then click OK to return to the Managed By tab.

      Alternatively, you can type the name of a group. See Groups as owners for special considerations.

    4. Click OK to close the <group> Properties window.

  2. Ensure that the printer Bravura Identity will manage is listed in the directory.

    Using Printers and Faxes on the server where the printer is attached:

    1. Right-click the printer, then select Printer properties.

    2. Click the Sharing tab, and ensure that the Share this printer and List in the directory options are selected.

    3. Click OK.

  3. Add the group so that it has permissions to the printer:

    Using Devices and Printers on the server where the printer is attached:

    1. Right-click the printer, then select Printer properties.

      The <printer> Properties window appears.

    2. Select the Security tab, then click Add.

    3. Type the name of the groups you configured step 1, then click OK.

    4. Set the permissions for each group. For example allow the group to print.

    5. Click OK to close the <printer> Properties window.

The printer is now available to be managed by Bravura Identity .
