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 Snap Servers. Component Security Models (SnapTrees) Shares Share Access File Permissions Options Directories created on the root of a Snap Server volume are assigned one of two security models: Windows or UNIX. The security model determines the file-level security scheme that will apply to files, folders, and subdirectories within the directory (aka SnapTree directory). This security-based directory structure is referred to as a SnapTree. Shares are created on the Storage > Shares screen. When creating a share, you must set the following options: • Share Mount Point: In the course of creating a share, you can either select an existing directory or create a new one. • Security Model: If you create a share pointing to a volume or a SnapTree directory, a security model must be selected. • 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. Share-level access allows users/groups/clients to connect to a share and is configured from the Security > Share Access screen. • User and Group Access: Users and groups known to the system can be given read-write or read-only access to the share. • NFS Client Access: The Administration Tool provides a window into the exports file for defining how a share is exported to NFS clients. • Hidden Shares: The Hidden option allows you to hide a share from clients connecting from the SMB, HTTP, AFP, FTP (but not NFS) protocols. 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. 46 Snap Server Administrator Guide

Snap Server Administrator Guide
Components and Options
Shares are created and share access is granted using the Administration Tool. File-
level 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 Snap Servers.

Security Models
(SnapTrees)
Directories created on the root of a Snap Server volume are
assigned one of two security models: Windows or UNIX. The
security model determines the file-level security scheme that will
apply to files, folders, and subdirectories within the directory (aka
SnapTree directory). This security-based directory structure is
referred to as a SnapTree.
Shares
Shares are created on the
Storage > Shares
screen. When creating
a share, you must set the following options:
•
Share Mount Point
: In the course of creating a share, you can
either select an existing directory or create a new one.
•
Security Model
: If you create a share pointing to a volume or a
SnapTree directory, a security model must be selected.
•
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.
Share Access
Share-level access allows users/groups/clients to connect to a share
and is configured from the
Security > Share Access
screen.
•
User and Group Access
: Users and groups known to the
system can be given read-write or read-only access to the share.
•
NFS Client Access
: The Administration Tool provides a window
into the
exports
file for defining how a share is exported to NFS
clients.
•
Hidden Shares
: The Hidden option allows you to hide a share
from clients connecting from the SMB, HTTP, AFP, FTP (but not
NFS) protocols.
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.
