A trustee is an object (such as a User object, Group object, Organizational Role objects, or container object) that has (or will have) rights to a volume, directory, or file. Trustee assignments allow you to assign ownership, set permissions, and monitor user access. You must have the Access Control (http://www. novell. com/documentation/nw65/nss_enu/data/ bri5796. html#bs3fjo7) right to change trustee assignments. 2 Select the folder or file you want to set trustee rights for, then click OK. 3 To add a trustee, select the object in the tree diagram, click Add, then set the rights for this user by selecting the boxes under the letters on the right. Using Novell Utilities 17 novdocx (ENU) 01 February 2006 For each trustee in the list, there is a set of eight check boxes, one for each right that can be assigned. The following rights can be set for each trustee: · Read: For a directory, grants the right to open files in the directory and read the contents or run the programs. · Write: For a directory, grants the right to open and change the contents of files in the directory. · Create: For a directory, grants the right to create new files and directories in the directory. For a file, grants the right to create a file and to salvage a file after it has been deleted. · Modify: Grants the right to change the attributes or name of the directory or file, but does not grant the right to change its contents (changing the contents requires the Write right). · File Scan: Grants the right to view directory and file names in the file system structure, including the directory structure from that file to the root directory. · Access Control: Grants the right to add and remove trustees for directories and files and modify their trustee assignments and Inherited Rights Filters. · Supervisor: Grants all rights to the directory or file and any subordinate items. The Supervisor right can't be blocked by an Inherited Rights Filter. Users with this right can grant or deny other users rights to the directory or file. 4 To remove a trustee, select one or more trustees in the Trustees list, then click Remove. 5 To view a list of rights and filters inherited by this volume, click Inherited Rights and filters. 6 To apply the same trustee assignments to a group of selected files, click Combine multiple Trustees.
