Rights refers to eDirectory trustee rights and trustees. When you create a tree, the default rights assignments give your network generalized access and security. iManager lets you perform the following rights-related tasks:
For more information about eDirectory rights, see the Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP7 Administration Guide.
Both eDirectory and the NetWare file system provide an Inherited Rights Filter (IRF) mechanism to block rights inheritance on individual subordinate items. One exception is that the Supervisor right can’t be blocked in the NetWare file system.
For more information about Inherited Rights Filters, see the Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP7 Administration Guide.
In Roles and Tasks, select > .
Specify the full name of the object whose inherited rights filter you want to modify, or use the Object Selector to find it, then click .
This displays a list of the inherited rights filters that have already been set on the object.
On the property page, edit the list of inherited rights filters as needed, then click .
To edit the list of filters, you must have the Supervisor or Access Control right to the ACL property of the object. You can set filters that block inherited rights to the object as a whole, to all the properties of the object, and to individual properties.
