How to work with sites

By optionally creating Sites , you can:

Delegate management tasks to the IT personnel at the local site

Administrators with the role site manager can manage printers and printing in Printix Administrator without having excess privileges to change global settings and printing at other sites.

In Printix Administrator, browse sites to see the organization of printers and print queues.
