NetWare File Security
NetWare
®
networks restrict access to network files and folders based on user
accounts. For example, a user connected to the network using the
Administrator account might be able to delete or rename a file that other users
can only open and edit.
The NetWare file system keeps track of the rights that users have to files and
directories on the network. When users try to access any file on a NetWare
network, NetWare either grants access or prohibits certain things that users
can do with the file.
Rights are granted and revoked by creating trustee assignments. For more
information, see “Changing Trustee Assignments” on page 46.
