This is actually a companion post to an article I posted called
"EXPLICIT Rights Question". I thought if I rephrased the problem
I might get better results in achieving what we're trying to do.
We're in the process of designing the SYS:DATA directory structure and
security for our organizations Netware 3.12 servers. We would like it
to meet the following requirements:
1) EVERYONE has access to SYS:DATA [R W E C F M]
2) Our departments each have thier own GROUP DIR under SYS:DATA;
(ie. SYS:DATA\EXEC; SYS:DATA\ADMIN)
Each GROUP DIR has it's own corresponding NETWARE GROUP
Each NETWARE GROUP gets a trustee assignment of [R W E C F M]
to it's corresponding GROUP DIR
Each GROUP DIR has an IRM at it's head which blocks all rights to
other users/groups
NOTE: NETWARE GROUP EXEC must have [R F] to all GROUP DIR's
and USER DIR's
3) Every user has a USER DIR in thier appropriate GROUP DIR with the
[S] right to thier own directory
Peer users get NO rights to other users directories
Department heads get [R F] to other users USER DIR's in thier
GROUP DIR
In the event there is more than one dept head in a group, the
second manager get's the [R F] assignments in USER DIR's
of thier subordinates, NO rights in the first managers directory
The DILEMMA: What is the most effective way to grant trustee rights
to the group directories for the Netware groups, while blocking
rights to peer directories for peers, granting [R F] to dept heads,
AND granting global [R F] to the EXEC Netware group.
I've been wrestling with this for a couple of days now; if there is
an efficient way to pull this off I haven't come acrost it yet. It
would be great if this plan could come together...ideas?
