4.4 Viewing Effective Rights

Effective rights are the actual rights users can exercise on specific network resources. They are calculated by the system (eDirectory or NetWare) based on explicit rights assignments, inheritance, and security equivalence. You can query the system to determine a user’s effective rights to any resource.
