File System and Storage Management

Question

Your company has recently hired a number of new technical support engineers. These employees will need access to knowledgebase documents stored on an OES NetWare server volume. They will also need to be able to create new documents and edit existing documents. All the documents will be saved within the KNOWLEDGE directory structure on the SUPPORT volume. Rather than assign file system rights to each individual user object, to which objects could you assign rights to make the process more manageable? (Choose 2.)

Options

  • AGroup objects
  • BAlias objects
  • CServer objects
  • DTemplate objects
  • EDirectory Map objects
  • FOrganizational Unit objects
  • GOrganizational Role objects

Why each option

In Novell eDirectory, assigning file system rights to Group objects and Organizational Unit objects allows administrators to manage access for multiple users efficiently without configuring each user object individually.

AGroup objectsCorrect

Group objects in eDirectory allow administrators to bundle multiple user objects together and assign a single set of file system rights to the group, so all members inherit those rights - making administration far more scalable than per-user assignments.

BAlias objects

Alias objects are pointers to other eDirectory objects and are not used as trustees for managing file system rights assignments.

CServer objects

Server objects represent physical or virtual servers in the tree and are not used to assign file system rights to groups of users.

DTemplate objects

Template objects are used to set default property values when creating new user objects, not to assign ongoing file system rights to users.

EDirectory Map objects

Directory Map objects create a pointer to a specific directory path on a volume, useful for mapping drives, but cannot be used as a trustee to assign rights to other users.

FOrganizational Unit objectsCorrect

Organizational Unit (OU) objects can also receive trustee assignments, so all user objects contained within that OU inherit the rights, making it efficient to manage access for entire departments or teams without individual assignments.

GOrganizational Role objects

Organizational Role objects can hold a trustee position but represent a role occupied by one user at a time, making them less suitable than Groups or OUs for managing rights for multiple simultaneous users.
