Novell CLIENT FOR LINUX 2.0 SP2 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual page 35

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 to 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
because the combined rights are based on the rights given to Michael.
Nancy has Read and File Scan rights to both FILEA and FILEB. She has gained Read and File
Scan rights to FILEB because the combined rights are based on the rights given to Michael.
Michael has Read, Write, and File Scan rights to both FILEA and FILEB.
To combine multiple trustees:
1 In a file manager, select all the Novell files or directories that you want to combine rights for.
2 Right-click the files or directories, then select one of the following:
GNOME: Click Novell Properties.
KDE: Click Actions > Novell Properties.
3 Click the Novell Rights tab.
4 Click Combine multiple Trustees, then click OK.
