Access Control List (ACL)
A property of NetWare Directory Services (NDS) objects that controls how
other objects can access the object.
An ACL contains trustee assignments that include NDS object and property
rights. The ACL also contains the Inherited Rights Filter. When you view an
object’s trustees or Inherited Rights Filter, you are seeing the values of that
object’s ACL.
An ACL for NDS objects is like the list of trustees for a file or directory.
To change an ACL (and therefore a trustee’s rights to an object), you must
have a property right that allows you to modify the ACL for that NDS
object.
“Security.”See also “Object”;
Access Control right
A NetWare right that allows users to modify trustee assignments and
Inherited Rights Filters to a file or directory.
At the directory level, this right allows users to modify both directory and
file trustee assignments and Inherited Rights Filters. Users with Access
Control right can grant any right to any other user, including rights that they
themselves have not been granted. They can, however, only grant Supervisor
rights if they themselves have Supervisor rights.
If more than one user has access to the directory, the Access Control right
allows a user to modify the restrictions.
At the file level, this right allows users to modify only the file's trustee
assignments and Inherited Rights Filter. Users who have this right can grant
any right to any other user, including rights that they themselves have not
been granted. They can, however, only grant Supervisor rights if they
themselves have Supervisor rights.
