Removal of members or owners of the group will not delete the disk space assigned to
that user. However, the user will no longer have rights to the disk space. This makes it
simple to add the member back and allows the data owned by that user to be retained for
the sake of the group.
Trustee Management with Group Templates
Just as member and owner modification can have an impact on the file system structure of
the disk space assigned to a group, trustee assignments can be dynamically managed.
Static trustee assignments can be made to any file or directory in the template and these
will be copied or applied to each set of directories created as a result of the application of
the Policy. For example, you may wish to have a proxy user
(APACHEUSER.SYSTEMS.STATEU) associated with a web server to have rights to a
specific directory (PUBLIC.WWW) in the file system for each group.
Static trustee assignments copied to the disk space for each group, while powerful, are
probably not sufficient for all needs you may have. Therefore, File System Factory™
supports dynamic as well as static trustee assignments to any file or directory in the
template.
With dynamic trustee management, there are two types of controls. Firstly, the group
object itself may be given specific rights within the file system associated with the group.
