Understanding NetWare Directory Services
The Hierarchical Directory Tree
Security Equal To The Security Equal To property lists other objects that
you want a given object to have security equivalence to. The object is
granted the same rights the objects in its list are granted, both to NDS
objects and to files and directories.
Use the Security Equal To property to give a user access to the same
information or rights another user has access to.
When a user is added to the membership list of a Group object or to the
occupant list of an Organizational Role object, the Group or Organizational
Role is listed in that user’s Security Equal To list.
By using the Security Equal To property, you avoid having to review the
whole directory structure and determine which rights need to be assigned to
which directories, files, and objects.
See “Security Equivalence” in Concepts for more information.
Effective Rights The combination of inherited rights, trustee assignments in
an ACL, and the Security Equal To property are known as effective rights.
An object’s effective rights control its access to another object and that
object’s properties.
See “Effective Rights” in Concepts for more information.
