Understanding Networking Basics
Network Users
When User ADMIN is created on the first NetWare 4 server installed, it can manage all objects because it has the Supervisor right to every object. Initially, ADMIN can also manage all directories and files on every volume in the Directory tree.
User ADMIN does not have any special significance like the user SUPERVISOR did in previous versions of NetWare. It is merely the first User object created and, therefore, is granted rights to create and manage all objects.
To use the network, every user must be assigned a User object in the Directory tree. The User object represents the individual and keeps track of the person’s use of the network.
