Configure Id Mapping - Overland Storage SnapServer Administrator's Manual

SnapServer GuardianOS 7.2 Administrator's Guide
ID mapping allows users and groups that exist on Windows domains to share user IDs with
local or NIS users and groups. This results in the same permissions and quota consumption
applying to both the Windows domain user and the local or NIS user.
Example: John Smith is a local user on a SnapServer, as well as having a user ID on a
Windows domain. John's quota for the SnapServer has been set to 200 MB. The
administrator of the SnapServer maps the Windows domain user identification for John
Smith to the local identification for John Smith, giving both IDs access to John's 200 MB.
