Authorities and ownership in the QNetWare file system

 

Files and directories in QNetWare are stored and managed by Novell NetWare servers.

When using commands and APIs to retrieve or set the authorities of either owners or users, QNetWare maps NetWare users to System i™ users based on the name of a user. If the NetWare name exceeds 10 characters or a corresponding System i user does not exist, then the authority is not mapped. Owners that cannot be mapped are automatically mapped to the user profile QDFTOWN. The authorities of users can be displayed and changed using the Work with Authority (WRKAUT) and Change Authority (CHGAUT) commands. When authorities are transferred to and from the system, they are mapped to i5/OS^® authorities.
