Adding a trustee to a directory or file

You can add a trustee to a directory or file using either NetWare Administrator or FILER. Both procedures are described in this topic.

Adding a trustee using NetWare Administrator

The following list describes the prerequisites:

• A 386 or later workstation and NetWare Administrator

• The Access Control right to the file or directory to which you want to add the trustee

1. From the Windows Program Manager or the OS/2 desktop, click on the ``NetWare Administrator'' icon.

2. Using the browser, select the directory or file to which you want to add a trustee.

   For information about moving around in the browser and selecting objects, choose Help from the menu bar.

3. From the Object menu, choose Details.

4. From the ``Identification'' page, choose ``Trustees of This Directory''.

5. From the ``Trustees of This Directory'' page, choose ``Add Trustee''.

6. Select a trustee from the list.

   If the object does not appear in the list, browse the Directory tree to find the object that you want to make a trustee of the file or directory.

7. Choose OK.

8. To grant rights to the trustee name, mark the appropriate check boxes below the trustee.

9. To return to the browser, choose OK.

Adding a trustee using FILER

The following list describes the prerequisites:

• A workstation running DOS 3.30 or later and FILER

• A minimum of 512KB of memory available in the workstation

• Access Control right to the file or directory to which you want to add the trustee

1. At the DOS prompt, type
   
   FILER

   A list of available options appears.

   Your current context, Volume object, and path are shown in the upper left corner of the screen.

2. Select ``Manage Files and Directories''.

   The ``Directory Contents'' list appears.

3. Find and select the file or directory you want.

   • If the item you want appears in the list, select it and press<F10>.

   • If the item is not in the list, browse a directory by selecting it and pressing <Enter> until you see the item you want. Select it and press <F10>.

   • If you cannot find the directory you want, check the Volume object name in the upper left corner of the screen. If you are in the wrong Volume, you can change it by returning to the Available Options menu and choosing Select Current Directory.

4. Select ``View/Set File [or Directory] Information'' and press <Enter>.

   Information for that file or directory appears.

5. Use the arrow keys to move to the ``Trustees'' field and press <Enter>.

   A list of trustees for that file or directory appears.

6. To add a trustee, press <Ins> and locate the trustee's name in the list. Select the name and press <Enter>.

   The new trustee, object type, and default rights appear in the list.

7. (Optional) Add another trustee to this file or directory.

   Press <Esc> until you get to the ``View/Set File [or Directory] Information'' screen and then repeat Steps 5 and 6.

8. (Optional) Assign rights to the new trustee.

   You can assign or modify trustee rights now, or at any time after the trustee has been assigned to the directory or file.

   • From the trustee list, select the user you want to assign or modify rights for and press <Enter>.

     The ``Trustee Rights'' list appears, showing the rights the trustee currently has to this directory or file.

   • Press <Ins> to see a list of rights you can assign.

   • Select a right you want to give the trustee and press <Enter>. To give the trustee more than one right, press <F5> to mark the rights, and then press <Enter>.

     The ``Trustee Rights'' list reappears with the new rights added.

   • Press <Esc>.

     The new rights appear next to the trustee name.

9. Exit FILER by pressing <Esc> until you reach the Exit confirmation box and select ``Yes''.
