SnapTrees and Security Models

100 SnapServer Administrator Guide

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) is applied to the SnapTree directory itself with a default

permission, and can optionally be propagated with a default permission to all

files and directories inside the SnapTree.

Share Access Share-level access allows users/groups/clients to connect to a share

and is configured from the Security > Share Access screen. Users and

groups known to the system can be given Full Access or Read Only (R)

access to the share.

Share NFS

Access

The Administration Tool provides a window into the exports file for

defining how a share is exported to NFS clients.

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.
