T 5.59 Misuse of administrator rights in Novell Netware 3.x networks

A supervisor account or supervisor-equivalent account possesses complete control over the Novell Netware server, with the exception of bindery information (e.g. passwords).

It is, therefore, possible for an account with the security level "supervisor" to have access to all stored information on the server, as long as it is not protected by additional safeguards such as encryption. Authorised users of such accounts are able to read, delete or change other users' data.
