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

• Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.5

SYMPTOMS

When you use a BackOffice Small Business Server (SBS) wizard to revoke a user's fax permissions, Full Control permissions are granted to all other users.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you use the SBS Control User Access to Fax Printers Wizard to set fax printer permissions. When you use this wizard to remove a user's access to the fax printer, it removes the Everyone group and grants all users Full Control permissions.

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 

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.
