SnapTrees and Security Models Component Options Share Access Share-level access allows users/groups/clients to connect to a share and is configured from the Security > Share Access screen. Users and groups known to the system can be given Full Access or Read Only (R) access to the share. Share NFS Access The Administration Tool provides a window into the exports file for defining how a share is exported to NFS clients. 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. SnapTrees and Security Models Volumes and directories created on the root of a volume are assigned 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. • Creating a SnapTree Directory - SnapTree directories are created either from the Security > SnapTrees screen in the Administration Tool or from a client from any of the network protocols. SnapTrees created either by clients or in the Web UI will default to the security model of the parent volume. Note The security model of a SnapTree directory may differ from the personality of the directory (a Windows/Mixed SnapTree may have the UNIX personality, and vice-versa). • Toggling Security Models - The security model applied to a volume or SnapTree directory can be changed from the Security > SnapTrees screen, or when creating a share pointing to a volume root or SnapTree directory. When changing security models, the corresponding personality (i.e., Windows for Windows/Mixed and UNIX for UNIX) is applied to the SnapTree directory itself with a default permission, and can optionally be propagated with a default permission to all files and directories inside the SnapTree. 100 SnapServer Administrator Guide
