Print Access Restriction based on Role: Visualization Configuration Administration

Hi Guys,

Can we restrict based on role/user through Visualization Configuration Administration.

In <Creo View Install directory>\preferences\ProductView folder, add following information to admin_prefs.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<preferences>
    <category name="General"> 
      <subcategory name="UI_Config">
        <preference name="disabled_commands" value="PrintCmd,PrintNoAccelCmd,PrintMultiCmd,PrintPreviewCmd,MultiPrintPrintCmd" locked="true"/>
      </subcategory>
    </category> 
</preferences>

Rename or save as the admin_prefs.xml to server_prefs.xml
Upload the server_prefs.xml to Windchill via Site > Utilities > Visualization Configuration Administration

Regards,

AJ,

@avillanueva Thanks for the response.

Based on the above XML, I restricted in server preference, but what I am asking is to restrict the selected group & users.

For example: [Print Access]

3 users I have 1 user I need to restrict other not restrict

2 roles/groups, 1 I want to restrict, the other one. I don't want to restrict

Regards,
