Security > Shares > Create Share > Advanced Share Properties
and enabling/
disabling specific protocols, or by selecting a share, clicking to expand

File and Directory Permissions
GuardianOS supports two “personalities” of file system security on files and
directories:
• UNIX: Traditional UNIX permissions (rwx) for owner, group owner, and other.
• Windows ACLs: Windows NTFS-style file system permissions. Introduced in
GuardianOS 5.0, Windows ACLs fully support the semantics of NTFS ACLs,
including configuration, enforcement, and inheritance models (not including the
behaviour of some built-in Windows users and groups).
The security personality of a file or directory is dependent on the security model of
the SnapTree or Volume in which the file or directory exists (see “SnapTrees and
Security Models” on page 100).
Note
Files and directories created pre-GuardianOS 5.0 will continue to have the
same permissions they had before, and will continue to be enforced as they were.
This includes both UNIX permissions and POSIX ACLs. When a Windows user
changes permissions on a file or directory created pre-GuardianOS 5.0 with a POSIX
ACL, the file will be updated to the new Windows security personality.
Share Level Permissions
Share-level permissions on GuardianOS are applied cumulatively. For example, if
the user “j_doe” has Read-Only share access and belongs to the group “sales”,
which has Read/Write share access, the result is that the user “j_doe” will have
Read/Write share access.
Note
Share-level permissions only apply to non-NFS protocols. NFS access is
configured independently by navigating to the
Security > Shares
page, selecting
from the table the NFS Access level for the share, and modifying the client access as
desired.
Where to Place Shares
For security and backup purposes, it is recommended that administrators restrict
access to shares at the root of a volume to administrators only. All SnapServers are
shipped with a default share named
SHARE1
that points to the root of the default
volume
vol0
. The share to the root of the volume should only be used by
administrators as a “door” into the rest of the directory structure so that, in the
