Change permission for system-config-printer on non administrative accounts
Hi. I would like to know how to change permissions for system-config-printer so a non administrative user could use without having to unlock it before every use. I am using a suse Linux distribution. Thanks in advance.
It may be sufficient to change the 'org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit' which by default has the following privileges configured...
Code:
# pkaction -v --action-id org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit
org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit:
description: Change printer settings
message: Privileges are required to change printer settings. This should only be needed from the Printers system settings panel.
vendor: The openSUSE Project
vendor_url: http://www.opensuse.org/
icon: printer
implicit any: auth_admin
implicit inactive: auth_admin
implicit active: auth_admin_keep
With openSUSE this can be done by adding the required entry in /etc/polkit-default-privs.local
