Viewing a trustee's effective rights 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 on the workstation

• The Access Control right to the file or directory, and the Read property right to the trustee object's ACL property

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 menu 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 on 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 item on the list, 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 ``Trustee'' field and press <Enter>.

   A list of trustees for the file or directory appears, along with the object type of the trustee and the current rights the trustee has to the file or directory.

   If the trustee list is empty, no effective rights exist for this file or directory. To assign trustee rights, see ``Trustee rights''.
