The access permissions you assign to specific files and folders work in conjunction
with access permissions you assign to a network share. When access rights for a
user or group to a share differ from those to a file or folder in the share, the most
restrictive access right is enforced. For more information about the method used by
the GuardianOS to restrict access rights, review the Share and File Access topic in the
online Help.
Assigning Disk Usage Quotas
If desired, you can control how much disk storage space a user can use on the Snap
Server.
For example, you may want to prevent some of your users from using more than
100 MB of disk space each, but you may also want to allow other users to operate
without any restrictions.
