Setting ACLs Or SLPs On A CIFS Share

The FluidFS NAS solution supports two levels of access control to shares, files, and folders:
  • Access Control Lists (ACL) — governs access to specific files and folders. The administrator can control a wide range of operations users and groups can perform.
  • Share Level Permissions (SLP) — governs access to entire shares. The administrator controls only read, change, or full access to an entire share.
ACLs offer a finer level of control, and can control many more operations than only read/change/full access. It is recommended leaving the default setting for SLP (everyone has full control) and use ACLs to control access to the share, unless there is a specific requirement for SLP s that cannot be accomplished using ACLs.

The first time a CIFS share is created, the owner of the share must be changed before setting any ACLs or attempting to access this share. If the NAS cluster solution 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.
  • Using the FluidFS local Administrator account (used if not joined to Active Directory or Domain Admin credentials are not available).
