Performing Maintenance Operations
To perform maintenance operations such as validating, recovering, or rebuilding domain databases;
fixing user, resource, or post office databases; or changing a user's client options, an administrator
must have Read and Write rights to the NGW: GroupWise ID property for the object being modified.
For example, to rebuild a domain database, an administrator requires Read and Write rights to the
NGW: GroupWise ID property for the Domain object. Or, to change a user's client options, an
administrator requires Read and Write rights to the NGW: GroupWise ID property for the User
object.
For information about giving a user rights to an object's properties or restricting a user's rights to an
