Each organizational unit can have subgroups. For example, in the figure, Sales is divided into truck and car departments, so another level of organizational unit objects is used for these. Finally, we get to the users in these departments, who are represented by leaf objects. Each user's login name, which on many NetWare networks is made up of the user's first initial and last name, is listed. An object's position within the directory tree is known as its context.
Most leaf objects have a common name, and for user objects, the common name is the login name.
What Novell refers to as an object's complete name is formed by concatenating the object's common name with its context.
