Re: [cups] Allow remote printer admin, but not edit config file

Thanks Helge, unfortunately I cannot see how your answer relates to my question.

Currently, access to /admin/conf/ ist forbidden for everyone (see my posted config).
This is wanted and works.

But unfortunately, that does not prevent users in the @SYSTEM group from editing the cupsd.conf file vie web GUI,
because it looks like that goes over /admin/ and @SYSTEM group users have access to /admin/, because access to /admin/ is needed to administrate printers.

So how can users in the @SYSTEM group be allowed to administrate printers, but not edit cupsd.conf file ?

Because in cupsd.conf there is ACL configuration, and people could give themselves or others more privileges, but that shall not be.
