Setting Access Control Lists and Share Level Permissions on FluidFS

This section provides information about setting up access control lists (ACLs) and share level permissions (SLP) on Fluid File System (FluidFS). It is recommended that a Windows administrator follow the best practices as defined by Microsoft.

Both ACLs and SLPs are supported by FluidFS. However, SLPs are limited as they only address full control, modify and read rights for any given user or group.

CIFS Storage Administrator Account

Abuilt-in local CIFS storage administrator account serves the primary purpose of setting ownership of the CIFS share. The account can also be used to set ACLs when the NAS service is not joined to an Active Directory domain. This built-in account has a randomly generated password for security purposes. You must change this password before attempting to set any ACLs or SLPs.

Active Directory Configuration

FluidFS has the ability to join an Active Directory domain. This can be done using the NAS Manager or the CLI. For more information, see "Configuring the Active Directory Service" on page 133.

Setting ACLs or SLPs on a CIFS Share

The first time a CIFS share is created, the owner of the share must be changed prior to setting any ACLs or attempting to access this share. If the PowerVault NX3500 is joined to an Active Directory domain, the following methods can be used for setting ACLs:

Using an Active Directory domain account that has its primary group set as the Domain Admins group.
