Security Models

There are two file-level security models that can be used by a SnapServer: Windows/Mixed
and UNIX. In Traditional RAID, the security model can be configured on volumes and the
first set of folders created in the root of the volumes. In DynamicRAID, the security model
only can be configured on the volumes.
The security model determines the rules regarding which security personality will be
present on files and folders created by the various protocols and clients, and whether the
personality of files and folders can be changed by changing permissions.
Folders created in a volume default to the security model of that volume. The folder's
security model may differ from the personality of the folders (for example, folders with a
Windows/Mixed security may have a UNIX personality).
For more information about Security Models, see
