Assigning Rights Explicitly
When the default rights assignments in your eDirectory tree provide users
with either too much or not enough access to resources, you can create or
modify explicit rights assignments. When you create or modify a rights
assignment, you start by selecting either the resource that you are controlling
access to or the trustee (the eDirectory object that possesses, or will possess,
the rights).
HINT: To manage users’ rights collectively rather than individually, make a group,
role, or container object the trustee. To restrict access to a resource globally (for all
users), see “Blocking Inheritance” on page 55. If the resource is a file or folder on
a NetWare volume, you can also control access globally by setting attributes (see
“Viewing and Modifying Server and File System Information” on page 90).
