Details

This program will scan the trustee rights assigned to all the user, group, and organizational objects in the tree for the selected volume, and output them to a file. The file produced is a simple text file.

The program can then be used to add these trustees back using this file. The main advantage it has over the RIGHTS command, is that it can assign trustees to files/folders with long names.

Usage:

To read the trustee rights, select the Read Trustees tab, simply enter the name of the tree, and select the volume from the list. This will produce a text file with the users that have access rights to that volume.

To add the rights (for example, after a server upgrade), select the Write Trustees tab, click on the Write Trustees button, and select the file containing the rights.

Please add a comment on this page if you use this program.

New with this version: This update allows the location of the output file to be specified.

12/1/06: The feedback I rec'd was that users were getting an error 52. This version should have that fixed.

• Very useful utility...and faster than some similar tools. An option to choose the output file name and location would make it even better although this is not insurmountable.
• Some subdirs will not be dumped
• I needed a tool to list access rights for our auditing department and Trustees fit the bill. The publisher even responded to and corrected a problem the app was having with one of my volume names!
• very useful tool. when i tested it didn't pick up container permission assignments, otherwise very good.
• This is exactly what I was looking for.
• I checked the text file that was created and it didn't list the Trustee assignments at the root of the volumes.
• With a little improvement this could be even better.
• Quite useful utility. It saves lot of time to admins
• Great little tool for all NetWare admins.
• Did not work for us. Log file was either empty or "run time error 52 - bad file name or number" displayed.
• Didn't work at all. Runtime error 52.
• super program. Great help for admins.
• Very useful tool. It could be better allowing the possibility to select also the folders
• Worked great for me ...
• Excellent Program! Great for mass changes. Helps in removing Supervisor and Access Control from student Home dirs. Also as a good way to backup of trustee rights, and verifying current settings. Great Job, Harry. (runtime errors fixed)
