The following table describes file rights.
Object rights apply to NetWare Directory Services objects. Object rights
don’t affect the properties of an object (see property rights below). A trustee
can inherit rights to an object from the object above it.
The following table describes object rights.
Table 1-12 File rights
Right Description
Supervisor Grants all rights to the file. The file Supervisor right can't be blocked with
an Inherited Rights Filter. Users who have this right can also grant other
users any rights to the file, and can change the file’s Inherited Rights Filter.
Read Grants the right to open and read the file.
Create Grants the right to salvage the file after it has been deleted. This right is not
applicable to NetWare Services, which does not support salvageable files.
Write Grants the right to open and write to an existing file.
Erase Grants the right to erase (delete) the file.
Modify Grants the right to change the attributes and name of the file—but does not
grant the right to change its contents. (That requires the Write right.)
File Scan Grants the right to see the file with the DIR or NDIR directory command,
including the directory structure from that file to the root directory.
Access Control Grants the right to change the trustee assignments and Inherited Rights
Filter of the file.
Table 1-13 Object Rights
Right Description
Supervisor Grants all access privileges. A trustee with the Supervisor object right also
has unrestricted access to all properties. The Supervisor object right can be
blocked by the Inherited Rights Filter below the object where the
Supervisor right is granted.
Browse Grants the right to see the object in the Directory tree. The name of the
object is returned when a search is made that matches the object.
