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.
