SnapTrees and Security Models 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) can optionally be propagated with a default permission to all files and directories inside the SnapTree. 84 Snap Server Administrator Guide
