Managing Trustee Assignments to Objects

An object that is granted rights to work with another object is called a trustee of the object. Through trustee assignments you determine what level of rights you want trustees to have on the objects to which they are assigned.

For example, to make user KSMITH a trustee of Organizational Unit MARKETING, go to the Organizational Unit MARKETING and add KSMITH as a trustee, giving KSMITH whatever object and property rights you think are sufficient.

KSMITH's trustee assignment to MARKETING overrides any other rights that KSMITH may have inherited or received through security equivalence.

You can manage trustee assignments to objects by using either NetWare Administrator or NETADMIN. Both procedures are described in this section.
