6 Click OK.

5.4 Removing a Trustee

When you remove a trustee of a Novell file system directory or file, you delete a user's rights to that
directory or file. You must have the Access Control right to remove a trustee.
1 In a file manager, right-click the Novell file or directory whose trustee you want to remove.
2 Do one of the following:
3 Click the Novell Rights tab.
4 In the Trustees list, select the trustee you want to remove.
5 Click Remove, then click OK.

5.5 Combining Multiple Trustees

As an administrator, you might need to apply the same trustee assignments to a group of selected
files. You can combine trustee assignments by selecting the Combine Multiple Trustees option on
the Novell Rights page.
For example, Kim is a trustee of FILEA and FILEB. Kim has Read, File Scan, and Access Control
rights for FILEA and Read and File Scan rights for FILEB. Nancy has Read and File Scan rights for
FILEA.
If you give a new user named Michael the Read, Write, and File Scan rights for both FILEA and
FILEB and, at the same time, you want to give similar trustee rights for Kim and Nancy, you would
select Combine Multiple Trustees. The following would then be true:
• Kim has Read and File Scan rights to both FILEA and FILEB. Her Access Control right is lost
