and groups, explains what each is used for, and indicates when to use each.
Table C-1 User-Related Leaf Object Name, Function, and Usage
Leaf Object Function Usage Situation
Group
Assigns a name to a list of User
objects that can be located
anywhere in the Directory tree.
Many User objects need the same
trustee assignments. Rather than
making many trustee assignments,
make just one trustee assignment to all
users who belong to the group by
making the trustee assignment to the
Group object itself.
Organizational Role
Defines a position or role within
an organization.
You want to assign rights to a
particular position rather than to the
person who occupies that position. The
occupant might change frequently, but
the responsibilities of the position do
not.
You can assign any user to be an
occupant of an Organizational Role
object because every occupant receives
the same rights granted to the
Organizational Role object.
Profile
Contains a profile login script.
When the Profile object is listed
as a User object’s property, the
Profile object’s login script is
executed when that User object
logs in.
The profile login script executes
after the system login script and
before the user login script.
A set of users need to share common
login script commands but are not
located in the same Directory tree
container or are a subset of users in the
same container.
