Setting File and Directory Access Permissions and Inheritance (Windows)
Access permissions for files and directories with the Windows security personality are set
using the standard Windows Explorer interface. GuardianOS supports:
• All standard generic and advanced access permissions that can be assigned by Windows
clients.
• All levels of inheritance that can be assigned to an ACE in a directory ACL from a
Windows client.
• Automatic inheritance from parent directories, as well as the ability to disable
automatic inheritance from parents.
• Special assignment and inheritance of the CREATOR OWNER, CREATOR GROUP,
Users, Authenticated Users, and Administrators built-in users and groups.
Procedure to set file and directory access permissions and inheritance in Windows:
1. Using a Windows client, map a drive to the SnapServer, logging in as a user with
change permissions for the target file or directory.
2. Right-click the file or directory, choose Properties , and then select the Security tab.
3. Use the Windows security tools to add or delete users and groups, to modify their
permissions, and to set inheritance rules.
