Setting Up an Administrator Over an Object’s Specific eDirectory
Properties
1 If you haven't already done so, create the user, group, role, or container
object that you want to make a trustee of the object’s specific properties.
If you create a container as a trustee, all objects inside and below the
container will have the rights you grant. You must make the property
inheritable or the container and its members will not have rights below its
level.
2 Right-click the highest-level container that you want the administrator to
manage > click Trustees of This Object.
3 On the property page, click Add Trustee > select the object that represents
the administrator > click OK.
4 In the Rights Assigned To dialog box, click Add Property.
5 Deselect the Show All Properties check box.
6 For each property that the administrator will manage, assign the needed
rights.
Be sure to select the Inheritable check box on each rights assignment.
Click Help for details.
7 Click OK.
8 Click OK in the Properties dialog box.
Blocking Inheritance
In eDirectory, rights assignments on containers can be inheritable or non-
inheritable. In the NetWare file system, all rights assignments on folders are
inheritable. In both eDirectory and NetWare, you can block such inheritance
on individual subordinate items so that the rights aren't effective on those
items, no matter who the trustee is. One exception is that the Supervisor right
can’t be blocked in the NetWare file system.
