Setting Up Security

26 Snap Server Administrator Guide

Tip The access permissions you assign to specific files and folders work in

conjunction with access permissions you assign to a network share. When access

rights for a user or group to a share differ from those to a file or folder in the share,

the most restrictive access right is enforced.

For example, you may have a network share where you have denied access to

GUEST. GUEST cannot access this share regardless of access permissions assigned

to individual files. You may also have a network share where the group Sales has

read only access. Members of Sales cannot modify files they access through this

share even if these are configured for “Full Control” by EVERYONE.

Assigning File Ownership

The person who creates a file is the registered owner of that file. Owners always

have full access to their own files, regardless of access settings. File ownership

information is also used to calculate disk space usage for disk quotas. For better file

control, you can change file ownership.

For example, a file may exist on the server that was created by one person or a third

party, but afterwards the project for which the file was created is transferred to a

new employee. You may then want to transfer file ownership to a new person.

1 Click File/Folder Security on the Security menu. Select Set File/Folder Security.

The server displays a list of network shares that you have defined.

2 Browse the contents of the shares to locate files or folders for which you want to

modify the registered owner.

3 To view and/or modify the ownership for a file or folder, click the corresponding

ownership icon (it looks like a face).

4 Select the person to whom you want to assign ownership of the file or folder, then

click

Set Owner. To apply ownership to an entire folder or subfolder, click Apply

this folder’s ownership to all files and subfolders

If your network has over 1000 user and group names, the users may be displayed as a

range, for example [USR_1000..USR_2000]. Select

Expand Range to see all of the

users within the selected range.
