Shares
104 SnapServer Administrator Guide
or group that has access to the root of a volume will have access to EVERY file and
subdirectory on that volume unless there is a specific ACL in place precluding that
access. In general, access to a share at the root of a volume should only be granted to
a system administrator or backup operator.
Hidden Shares
A
hidden
share is hidden from clients connecting from the SMB, HTTP, AFP, and
FTP (but not NFS) protocols. For example, assume SHARE1 is set as hidden.
Windows users will not see the share when viewing the server through Network
Neighborhood, or when performing a
net view \\servername
on the SnapServer.
For more information, see “Configuring Share and Folder Security Overview” on
Snapshot Shares
A
snapshot
share
provides access to all current snapshots of a volume. Just as a share
provides access to a portion of a live volume, a snapshot share provides access to
the same portion of the file system on any archived snapshots of the volume. You
create a snapshot share by selecting the
Create Snapshot Share
check box in the course
of creating or editing a share.
Security Models, SnapTrees, and Shares
In the course of creating a share that points to a volume or to a directory on the root
of the volume (aka SnapTree directory), you must assign a security model to the
volume or SnapTree directory. Thereafter, security models for these entities are
managed on the
Security > SnapTrees
screens.
NIS Users
When a SnapServer is connected to a UNIX domain, NIS users do not appear in the
list of users under
Security > Shares > Access
. NIS user properties cannot be
modified from the SnapServer. However, it is possible to assign quotas to NIS users
and groups from the
Storage > Quotas
page in the UI.
To Set Up NFS Share Security
Click the link in the
NFS Access
column next to the share you want to configure.
The NFS Share Access screen displays. You can configure NFS access to the share
using standard Linux "exports" file syntax.
Note
If selecting
Create share with Admin-only access...
and if the share has NFS
enabled, be sure to configure the NFS Access settings afterward.
