Creating Home Directories Example B: More restrictive share-level access trumps more permissive file-level access. Share Level File Level Result Read-only Full control to FileB Read-only access to all directories and files in SHARE1, including where a less restrictive filelevel permission applies. The user has read-only access to FileB. Setting User-based Share Access Permissions Share permissions for Windows, Apple, FTP, and HTTP users are configured from Security > Shares by clicking the link in the Access column next to the share you want to configure. Share permissions for NFS are configured and enforced independently. See "NFS Share Access" on page 98 for more information. User-based share access permissions apply to users connecting over SMB, AFP, HTTP, and FTP. Users and groups with assigned share access permissions appear in the list to the left (Users/groups with access to...) and those without assigned access permissions appear in the list to the right (Users/groups without access to...). The default permission granted to users and groups when they are granted access to the share is full access. You may restrict selected users and groups to read-only access. Share-Level Access Permissions Full access Read-only Users can read, write, modify, create, or delete files and folders within the share. Users can navigate the share directory structure and view files. Creating Home Directories The Home Directories feature creates a private directory for every local or Windows domain user that accesses the system. When enabling Home Directories (from the Security > Home Directories page), the administrator creates or selects a directory to serve as the home directory root. When a user logs in to the server for the first time after the administrator has enabled Home Directories, a new directory named after the user is automatically created inside the home directory root, and is configured to be accessible only to the specific user and the administrator. Depending on the protocol, home directories are accessed by users either via a userspecific share, or via a common share pointing to the home directory root. 106 SnapServer Administrator Guide
