# Printer Access Permission

<Callout type="info" title="Info">
This function is available from version <b>18.1</b> of the 365 business Print Agent.<br/>
	Please make sure that you are using the latest version.
</Callout>

In certain scenarios - for example, in the case of geographically separated branches - it may be useful to restrict access to printers to certain users.  
This is done via **Printer Access Permissions** by assigning one or more [user groups](https://learn.microsoft.com/de-DE/dynamics365/business-central/ui-define-granular-permissions) to a printer.

<Callout type="tip" title="Good to know">
If <b>no</b> user groups are assigned, the printer and the associated printer settings are visible and usable for <b>all users</b> in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. <br/>
	<br/>
	Users with the authorization set <b>365 business Print Agent - Full Access</b> (<code>bdev.PRINTAGENTSETUP</code>) are considered administrative users and are excluded from the access restrictions.<br/>
	This allows administrators to manage printers to which they themselves do not have access.

<Callout type="info" title="Info">
Even if a user does not have access to a printer, this printer can still be accessed via <b>background processes</b>.
