Components and Options

Shares are created and share access is granted using the Administration Tool. File-

level permissions are configured from a Windows or UNIX/Linux workstation. The

following table summarizes the components, options, and tools available for setting

up share and file security on Snap Servers.

Component Options

Security Models

(SnapTrees)

Directories created on the root of a Snap Server volume are

assigned one of two security models: Windows or UNIX. The

security model determines the file-level security scheme that will

apply to files, folders, and subdirectories within the directory (aka

SnapTree directory). This security-based directory structure is

referred to as a SnapTree.

Shares Shares are created on the Storage > Shares screen. When creating

a share, you must set the following options:

• Share Mount Point: In the course of creating a share, you can

either select an existing directory or create a new one.

• Security Model: If you create a share pointing to a volume or a

SnapTree directory, a security model must be selected.

• Protocol Access: Client access to the share can be restricted to

specific protocols. As a security precaution, disable any protocols

not needed by users of the share.

Share Access Share-level access allows users/groups/clients to connect to a share

and is configured from the Security > Share Access screen.

• User and Group Access: Users and groups known to the

system can be given read-write or read-only access to the share.

• NFS Client Access: The Administration Tool provides a window

into the exports file for defining how a share is exported to NFS

clients.

• Hidden Shares: The Hidden option allows you to hide a share

from clients connecting from the SMB, HTTP, AFP, FTP (but not

NFS) protocols.

File Permissions File-level permissions define what actions users and groups can

perform on files and directories, and are set from a Windows client

for a Windows SnapTree; and from a UNIX/Linux client for a UNIX

SnapTree.
