NetWare Glossary
R
To grant directory or file rights to other objects, a trustee must have the
Access Control right to a directory or file.
To grant object or property rights to other objects, a trustee must have the
Write, Add or Delete, Self, or Supervisor right to the ACL property of the
object.
Rights are granted and revoked by creating trustee assignments with the
“RIGHTS”, “NETADMIN”, or “NetWare Administrator” utilities.
File Access Control
NetWare Services allows a volume to enforce file access based on NetWare
rights, HP-UX permissions, or a combination as follows:
• None. All users have access to all files and directories.
• NetWare. Netware-only enforcement. All file access is controlled by NetWare
rights.
• UNIX. HP-UX-only enforcement. All file access is controlled by HP-UX
permissions.
• Both. All file access is controlled by a combination of NetWare and HP-UX
enforcement. In each case, the more restrictive of the two applies.
NetWare Rights
NetWare rights refer to trustee assignments. Users may be granted rights to a
file or a directory depending on the trustee rights they inherit or are granted.
Whether NetWare rights are enforced depends on the file access control for
the volume as specified in the voltab file. The enforcement of NetWare rights
is the default.
HP-UX Permissions
HP-UX permissions refer to the access modes on HP-UX files or directories.
Under HP-UX, a user may be granted read, write, or execute permission to a
file or a directory depending on their user ID, group ID, and the parent
directory’s access mode. NetWare Services optionally allows a volume to
grant rights to a file based on HP-UX permissions. This is done by setting
the file access control for a volume in the voltab file.
