The following table lists the objects that exist in a Directory tree immediately after you install NetWare Services and the default rights those objects have.

Default objects and rights in a directory tree

Default objects after installation Default rights after installation
NetWare Server object for the server on which was installed. User object ADMIN has the Supervisor object right to the NetWare Server object, which means that the User object ADMIN also has the Supervisor right to the root directory of the filesystem of all volumes attached to the server.
Volume object SYS:. The container object for Volume object SYS: is granted Read and File Scan rights to the volume's SYS:PUBLIC directory. This means that when users are created, they can access utilities located in the SYS:PUBLIC directory.
Volume objects for any other volumes on the server's disk besides SYS: that you created during installation. Root is granted the Read property right to the property's Host Server Name and Host Resource on all Volume objects. This means that all objects in the Directory tree have access to the physical volume name and the physical server name.
User object ADMIN has the Supervisor right to the root directory of the filesystems on these volumes.
User object ADMIN.
When the User object ADMIN is first created, it is placed in the Organization container object by default. This may not be the same context in which you installed the server.
User object ADMIN receives a trustee assignment of Supervisor object right to the Root object of the Directory tree; therefore, the User object ADMIN has all rights to all the objects in the Directory tree.
The User object ADMIN also has the Supervisor object right to the NetWare Server object; therefore, the User object ADMIN has the Supervisor right to the root directory of the filesystem of all volumes attached to the server.
Public has the Browse object right at the root. Users who are attached to a NetWare Directory Services server, but who are not authenticated, can browse the tree.
Users are granted all rights to their home directories, which are migrated when you migrate User objects.
