SnapServer GuardianOS 7.2 Administrator's Guide

Remove all Mappings

1. The Remove All Mappings button allows you to remove all ID mappings on the
SnapServer. Click this only if you want to remove all ID mappings.
2. A confirmation page appears. Click Remove All Mappings.
3. A page is displayed providing an option to remove mappings from all existing files and
folders on the filesystems. Click Update Filesystem to start the propagation process.
Clicking Do Not Update Filesystem will remove your mappings but will not propagate
to the filesystems.
NOTE: The propagation process may take a long time, depending upon the number of files and
All ownership and permissions for a given mapped user are converted to the Windows
Domain user – they will not necessarily revert to their previous state prior to the
original ID mapping.

Home Directories

To enable Home Directories, go to Security > Home Directories and check Enable Home
Directories. Choose the volume, path, and protocols you want.
The Home Directories feature creates a private directory for every local or Windows domain
user that accesses the system. When enabling Home Directories (from the Security > Home
Directories page), the administrator creates or selects a directory to serve as the home
directory root. When a user logs in to the server for the first time after the administrator has
enabled Home Directories, a new directory named after the user is automatically created
inside the home directory root, and is configured to be accessible only to the specific user and
the administrator.
Depending on the protocol, home directories are accessed by users either via a user-specific
share, or via a common share pointing to the home directory root.
