Allowed locations
Several objects such as jobs, printers, and input devices have a Location property. The Allowed locations property lets you specify which locations a user can access. The setting affects
which objects the user can see in the user interface. The user can select which location
to use to filter the user interface using the Locations to show property.
The Allowed locations property can also be set for groups. If locations are set for groups, each user who belongs to a group inherits the group locations. If a user is moved to a group with different allowed locations, the allowed locations are also changed for the user.
Values:
The list of locations available in the system.
- Default
- None
- Database name
- User.LocationSettings
Usage notes:
- Documents are not associated with a specific location. Restricting users to specific locations does not prevent them from displaying documents included in jobs that are associated with other locations.
- Changes to the Allowed locations property take effect the next time the user logs in.
- Users have access to all the locations set in the Allowed locations properties for their user and the group they belong to.
- Allowed locations inherited from the group are displayed, but cannot be removed.
- Select Include objects with no locations to let users see objects that do not have a value set for their Location property. Clear the value to prevent users from seeing objects that do not have a value set for their Location property.
