Network Security

Object rights control what a trustee can do with an object. These rights control the object as a single piece in the Directory tree, but they don’t allow access to information stored within that object—unless the Supervisor object right or property rights are granted.

Property rights control a trustee’s access to information stored within the object—that is, the information stored in the object’s properties. Each object has several properties to which access is controlled separately.

Rights security is administered by granting trustee assignments to objects and by acquiring effective rights through inheritance and security equivalence.
