Setting Standard Permissions
When you don’t need the exibility and granularity that access control lists (ACLs)
provide, or in cases where ACLs are not supported, use standard POSIX permissions
(Read & Write, Read Only, Write Only, and None) to control access to a share point
and its contents.
To set standard permissions on a share point:
1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2 Click File Sharing.
3 Click Share Points and select the share point from the list.
4 Click Permissions below the list.
5 To set the owner or group of the shared item, enter names or drag names from the
Users & Groups window to the owner or group records in the permissions table.
Owner and group records are listed under the POSIX heading. The owner record is the
one with the single user icon and the group record is the one with the group icon.
To open the Users & Groups window, click Add (+). If you don’t see a recently created
user or group, click the Refresh button (below the Servers list).
You can also edit POSIX owner and group names by double-clicking the relevant
permissions record and dragging a name from the Users & Groups window into
the User/Group eld. Or you can enter a name in the User/Group eld in the window
that appears.
To change the autorefresh interval, choose Server Admin > Preferences and change
the value of the “Auto-refresh status every” eld.
6 To change the permissions for the Owner, Group, and Others, use the arrows in the
Permission column to access the Permission pop-up menu in the relevant row of the
permissions table.
Others is any user that logs in to the le server who is not the owner and does not
belong to the group.
7 Click Save.
The new share point is shared using AFP and SMB, but not FTP and NFS.
Setting ACL Permissions
To congure ACL permissions for a share point or folder, you create a list of access
control entries (ACEs).
For each ACE, you can set 17 permissions with Allow, Deny, and Static inheritance, so
you have ne-grain control over access permissions, something that you don’t have
when using standard permissions. For example, you can separate delete permissions
from write permissions so that a user can edit a le but cannot delete it.
