The assignment of NDS rights involves a trustee and a target object. The trustee represents the user or set of users which are receiving the authority. The target represents those network resources the users have authority over. Although any object can be either a trustee or target, objects used in typical trustee assignments are illustrated below.
NOTE: If you make an Alias a trustee, the rights apply only to the object it represents. The Alias object can be an explicit target, however.
A file or directory in the NetWare file system can also be a target, although file system rights are stored in the file system itself, not in NDS.
