Setting Up Security

Chapter 3 Customizing Your Snap Server 21

Setting Up Security

Security restrictions control who can access the files and folders stored on the

server.

The default configuration allows all users on your network full access to all disks on

the server. If you have Web access enabled, this could include Internet users as well,

depending on your network setup. If you intend to store sensitive data, define tighter

security restrictions before putting it on the server.

If you want to enforce security, define users and user groups and identify which of

these may access your Snap Server.

When planning how to

enforce security at your

location, consider the

following Snap Server

features:

• You do not need to

define users and groups

that are already known

to a Microsoft Windows

network domain or to a

Novell NetWare bindery

server. See “Defining

Snap Server Users” on

page 21.

• You can secure a share, an entire disk, selected folder, or individual files.

• You can control how much disk space a user can consume by assigning usage

quotas.

To set up security on your server, use the settings on the Security menu. You access

the Security menu from the Administration menu.

See the Technical Reference (available at http://www.snapappliance.com/support)

for additional information on security topics.

Defining Snap Server Users

Before you can give or deny access to a server, you need to identify the users. Your

server allows you to use pre-existing Network Users or define Local Users and

Groups.
