Hi, Stroppy
Sorry to disagree with Mark, but you do indeed have the capability of assigning rights in novell based on the Novell login ID. Users can be organized into groups and access rights & permissions assigned at the user and/or group level. Or rights can be established for a user or group and then other users or groups can be equivalenced to those alreqdy assigned. Login scripts can control drive mappings, printer assignments etc at the user, group and organizational level.
Rights can be assigned at the volume, directory and file level without having to set up shares. Rights can be inherited or revoked at lower levels. Rights can consist of some or any of:
R-Read files and directories
W-Open and write to files, but not create or delete files.
C-Create directories and files and write to files.
E-Erase right - allowed to delete files & directories & their contents
M-Modify - allowed to change attributes and rename files and directories.
F-File Scan - be able to see files and subdirectories
A-Access control - be able to control who has access and modify trustee assignments
S-Supervisory - all rights.
Users can be restricted to login only at certain times and via certain terminals.
I don't know Zen works but I think what it does is provide an administrative layer over the systems of rights and permissions already available in Novell, which as you can see is quite powerful and extensive.
