Creating Home Directories
106 SnapServer Administrator Guide
Example B: More restrictive share-level access trumps more permissive file-level
access.
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.
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 user-
specific share, or via a common share pointing to the home directory root.
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 file-
level permission applies. The user has read-only
access to FileB.
Share-Level Access Permissions
Full access Users can read, write, modify, create, or delete files and folders
within the share.
Read-only Users can navigate the share directory structure and view files.
