Managing Groups of User Objects
NetWare 4.1 allows you to manage User objects as a group, which is often
more efficient than managing them individually. Six objects that can help
you manage groups of User objects are described in Table 2-5.
Table 2-5 Objects that Help Manage Users
Object Description
Organization Allows you to assign trustee rights, login scripts, and user defaults to the
User objects in the Organization.
Organizational Unit Allows you to assign trustee rights, login scripts, and user defaults to the
User objects in the Organizational Unit.
Group Provides an efficient way to manage one object, the Group object, instead
of many individual User objects.
Profile Allows you to set up a specific work environment by using a common login
script for groups of users who need similar work environments but who are
not located in the same container object.
Organizational Role Allows you to assign rights to a particular position and set of
responsibilities rather than to a person. The person who occupies that
position may change frequently, but the responsibilities of that position do
not.
The difference between a Group object and an Organizational Role object
is that a Group object usually has many members, whereas an
Organizational Role object usually has only one or two members.
USER_TEMPLATE Allows you to apply default property values to any user that you create in a
container object. You can choose to apply the information in the user
template when you create new User objects. The template is actually a User
object named USER_TEMPLATE.
