In RHEL 8, unauthenticated users can't move print jobs in the CUPS Web UI

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Our system is configured to allow anonymous users to perform print queue/print job administration, but users cannot use the "Move Job" button to move a print job to a different queue

  • I want to allow unfettered access to allow unauthenticated users to perform administration functions. We've removed the "Require user" entries from cupsd.conf. This works for everything but the "Move Job" operation in the "Jobs" page.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise (RHEL) 7 and RHEL 8.0-8.5
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.6.3 and CUPS 2.2.6-40.el8
