A user logs into a file server by supplying a username. The server checks for the existence of a password, and if one exists, prompts the user to enter the password. The server validates these for authenticity, and if correct, network access is granted. The following utilities allow users to manage their security status from the command line. This is handled by directory and trustee assignments.
Access rights define what functions are permitted.
Directory rights are assigned to each directory, and define the operations which can be performed. Trustee rights are assigned to users, and define the operations which can be performed by them. Security at the directory level is a combination of both directory and trustee rights, expressed as effective rights. The following rights are assigned at both directory and trustee level. Eight rights are assigned to each directory automatically when it is created.
