The read-only Print File and Library fields show the print file and library to which these rules apply.

In the Location Group ID field, you can specify a numbered location group from 1 through 254, as shown in . Only members of that group may open that print file.

In each line of the rest of the screen, you can indicate whether a specified user or group may open the print file:

User*, %Group, Group profile

The name or generic name of a user or group for whom you are creating these settings. To see a list of possible users or groups, press the F4 key.

Location Group ID

If location groups are enabled, this rule may be restricted to a given numbered location group. To enable location groups, press the F11 key.

Open Print File

If set to Y, the user or group may open the print file.
