Chapter 3 Setting Up Share Points 55
Propagating Permissions
Server Admin enables you to specify which permissions to propagate to descendant
les and folders. In the case of POSIX permissions, you can specify the following to
propagate:
Owner name Â
Group name Â
Owner permissions Â
Group permissions Â
Others permissions Â
The ability to select which information to propagate gives you specic control over
who can access les and folders.
For ACL permissions, you can only propagate the entire ACL. You can’t propagate
individual ACEs.
To propagate folder permissions:
1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2 Click File Sharing.
3 Click Share Points and select the share point you want to update from the list.
4 If you want to propagate permissions for a specic folder, click Browse and select
the folder.
5 Click Permissions below the list.
6 From the Action menu button (gear), choose “Propagate Permissions.”
7 Select the permissions you want to propagate.
8 Click OK.
Server Admin propagates the selected permissions to all descendants.
