[2237] | 8 | You'll use this tool to create, manage or delete print quota entries for users |
---|
| 9 | or users groups on printers or printers groups. |

---|
| 13 | By default, before being allowed to print through <application>PyKota</application>, |
---|
| 14 | an user must exist in the database and have a print quota entry on every printer |
---|
[2833] | 15 | he should be allowed to use. As seen in the previous chapter, the simplest way to add an user named <literal>jerome</literal> to the database is |
---|
[2237] | 16 | to type : |
---|
[3413] | 17 | <screen> |
---|
[2833] | 18 | $ pkusers --add jerome |
---|
[2237] | 19 | </screen> |
---|
[2833] | 20 | |
---|
| 21 | But this is not sufficient to allow user <literal>jerome</literal> to print. You have to create a print quota entry for <literal>jerome</literal> on all printers |
---|
| 22 | he is allowed to print to. The easiest way to do so is to type : |
---|
[3413] | 23 | <screen> |
---|
[2833] | 24 | $ edpykota --add jerome |
---|
| 25 | </screen> |
---|
[2237] | 26 | </para> |
---|
[3413] | 27 | |
---|
[2237] | 28 | <para> |
---|
[2833] | 29 | The commands above have created user <literal>jerome</literal> in the database, and have automatically |
---|
[2237] | 30 | created print quota entries with no limit for this user on all existing printers. This means |
---|
| 31 | that user <literal>jerome</literal> is allowed to print without limitation, but that full accounting |
---|
| 32 | will still be done for this user : you'll know whenever he prints and how much. |
