Property Rights

When you make a trustee assignment, you can grant object rights and/or property rights. Object rights apply to manipulation of the entire object, while property rights only apply to certain object properties.

Property rights are shown in the lower right pane of the NWAdmin Trustees dialog below.

NWAdmin gives you two options for managing property rights:

• You can manage all properties at once when the All Properties radio button is selected.
• You can manage one or more individual properties when the Selected Properties radio button is selected.

Following is a description of each property right.

Supervisor allows the trustee complete power over the property.

Compare enables the trustee to compare the value of a property to a given value. This right allows searching, and only returns a true or false result. It does not allow the trustee to actually see the value of the property.

Read allows the trustee to see the values of a property. It includes the Compare right.

Write allows the trustee to create, change, and delete the values of a property.

Add Self allows the trustee to add or remove itself as a property value. It only applies to properties with object names as values, such as membership lists or Access Control Lists (ACLs).
