This chapter describes how to assign users and groups access rights to CIFS shares
(directories) using FilerView; see your System Administrator and Command Reference
Guide for instructions about using Windows NT Server Manager to assign access
rights.
If you did not purchase a license for the CIFS protocol, continue on to Chapter 9, "Con-
figuring Clients to Access the Filer."

The rights you assign to a share apply to the entire share; for example, if you assign a
user rights to a share named HOME, the user gains rights to the directory specified
by the HOME share and to all subdirectories under the directory. When you assign
rights, they are recorded in the share ACL.
