Full Control Permissions Are Granted to All Users When a Single User's Fax Permissions Are Revoked (218026)

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then click Fax Server.
2. Click the Send tab.
3. Click Delete to remove the fax printer.
4. Click Add to add the fax printer.
5. Double-click Printers.
6. Click the fax printer.
7. Click Properties.
8. Click the Security tab.
9. Click Permissions, and then verify that default permissions are restored. The default fax printer permissions are:
   
   

      Administrator      Full Control
      Creator Owner      Manage Document
      Everyone           Print
      Print Operators    Full Control
      Server Operators   Full Control
   						

NOTE: If you perform the above procedure, fax printer permissions are also restored to the user whose privileges were previously removed. It is impossible to use the SBS Wizard to remove a user's permissions to the fax printer and maintain proper permissions for the fax printer. If you want to deny a specific user permissions to the printer and maintain default permissions for all other users:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.
2. Right-click Fax Printer, and then click Properties.
3. On the Security tab, click Permissions.
4. Click Add.
5. Select the user from the list.
6. In the box at the bottom of the window, set the access type to No Access.
7. Click OK, and then close Fax Printer properties.

The user whose permissions you set to No Access is unable to connect to the fax printer, and all other users still have print access.
