users may be granted access permissions to change only specific data.

NOTE Before you can enable distributed administration, you must install a
Directory Server. For more information, see the Netscape Enterprise Server
Installation and Migration Guide and the Netscape Directory Server
Administrator's Guide.
To enable distributed administration, perform the following steps:
Verify that you have installed a Directory Server.
1.
Access the Administration Server.
2.
One you've installed a Directory Server, you may also need to create an
3.
administration group, if you have not previously done so.
To create a group, perform the following steps:
Choose the Users & Groups tab.
a.
Click the New Group link.
b.
Create an "administrators" group in the LDAP directory and add the
c.
names of the users you want to have permission to configure the
Administration Server, or any of the servers installed in its server root. All
users in the "administrators" group have full access to the Administration
Server, but you can use access control to limit the servers and forms they
will be allowed to configure.
CAUTION Once you create an access-control list, the distributed administration group
is added to that list. If you change the name of the "administrators" group,
you must manually edit the access-control list to change the group it
references.
Choose the Preferences tab.
4.
Click the Distributed Admin link.
5.
Make the desired changes and click OK.
