Security: Destination Lists

Destination lists enable you to assign groups of destinations to default, base, remote user or group permissions definitions. For example, a company might dedicate certain printers to a particular department. If you create a destination list for that department, you can assign users or a group access to a destination list rather than to individual printers.
