<H1 CLASS="title">Managing Operation Policies</H1>
-<P>Operation policies are the rules used for each IPP operation
-in CUPS. These rules include things like "user must provide a
-password", "user must be in the system group", "allow only from
-the local system", and so forth. Until CUPS 1.2, these rules were
-largely hardcoded and could only be customized at a very basic
-level.</P>
-
-<P>CUPS 1.2 adds a new fine-grained policy layer which allows you
-to completely redefine the rules for each operation and/or
-printer. Each policy is named and defines access control rules
-for each IPP operation. This document describes how to manage
-policies and their rules.</P>

<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="BASICS">The Basics</A></H2>
-<P>Operation policies are used for all IPP requests sent to the
-scheduler and are evaluated <em>after</em> the <A
-HREF="ref-cupsd-conf.html#Location"><TT>Location</TT></A> based
-access control rules. This means that operation policies can only
-add additional security restrictions to a request, never relax
-them. Use <TT>Location</TT> based access control rules for
-server-wide limits and operation policies for limits on
-individual printers, tasks, or services.</P>
-
-<P>Policies are stored in the <VAR>cupsd.conf</VAR> file in <A
-HREF="ref-cupsd-conf.html#Policy"><TT>Policy</TT></A> sections.
-Each policy has an alphanumeric name that is used to select it.
-Inside the policy section are one or more <A
-HREF="ref-cupsd-conf.html#LimitIPP"><TT>Limit</TT></A>
-subsections which list the operations that are affected by the
-rules inside it. <A HREF="#LISTING01">Listing 1</A> shows the
-default operation policy, appropriately called "default", that is
-shipped with CUPS.</P>
-
-<P>The easiest way to add a policy to the <VAR>cupsd.conf</VAR>
-file is to use the web interface. Click on the
-<VAR>Administration</VAR> tab and then the <VAR>Edit
-Configuration File</VAR> button to edit the current
-<VAR>cupsd.conf</VAR> file. Click on the <VAR>Save Changes</VAR>
-button to save the changes and restart the scheduler. If you edit
-the <VAR>cupsd.conf</VAR> file from the console, make sure to <A
-HREF="ref-cupsd-conf.html">restart the cupsd process</A> before
-trying to use the new policy.</P>
