Components and Options Components and Options Shares are created and share access is granted using the Administration Tool. Filelevel 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 SnapServers. Component Options Security Models (SnapTrees) Volumes and directories created in the root of a volume have one of two security models: Windows/Mixed or UNIX. The security model determines the rules regarding which security personality will be present on files and directories created by the various protocols and clients, and whether the personality of files and directories can be changed by changing permissions. These directories are referred to as SnapTrees, and their security models can be configured from the Security > SnapTrees screen. Shares Shares are created on the Security > Shares screen. When creating a share, you must set the following options: • Name Select a name for the new share. • Volume Select a volume from the drop-down list. • Path Browse to the directory you want to use as the root of the share or type in the path to the share. If the path does not exist, when you click Browse or OK, you will be asked if you want to create it. • Security Model If you create a share pointing to a volume or a SnapTree directory, a security model must be selected. • Share Access User access to the share can be restricted or full read/ write access. By clicking to expand Advanced Share Properties, you can set the following options: • Hidden Option The Hidden option allows you to hide a share from clients connecting from SMB, HTTP/HTTPS, AFP, and FTP (but not NFS) protocols. • 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. • Snapshot Share The snapshot share allows access (using identical security) to snapshots of the data that the new share references. Note The Snapshot share option only appears when Snapshots have been licensed. Chapter 6 Share and File Access 99
