This 'How to' eplains how to use Access Control and PC Client to selectively present printers to the end-user based on AD/LDAP group membership.

In the example above, we are using HCP containers to create 2 sites and allocate printers, then we will use AD/LDAP groups to allow access to one site or the other.

AD/LDAP Group setup:

• In this example we have 2 AD groups, staff-G1 and student-G1



HCP setup:

Use of containers:

• We create 2 containers in HCP and move printers into each one

Modify Access Control:

• By default the containers are inheriting Access Control (greyed)

• Now we can click 'Add' and create a new Access Control for this container; we select an existing AD group

• The new Access Control is now active on the container 'Site 1' for this AD group 'student-G1'; we can the remove inherited Access Control that are not pertinent anymore for this container

• And similarly we can create another Access Control for the 2nd group 'Staff-G1' for the container 'Site 2'

PC Client:

The HCP PC Client is now used on the Workstation to connect to the HCP Gateway:

User of student-G1 logged-in

We only see printers for the associated Site/Access control, ie: Site 1

User of staff-G1 logged-in

We only see printer for the associated Site/Access control, ie: Site 2
