HP CIFS Server Administrator Guide Version A.03.01.03 (5900-2006, October 2011)

Using the Windows NT Explorer GUI to create ACLs
Use the Windows Explorer GUI to set new ACLs.
This section describes how to add new entries to the ACE list:
• Click the add button in the File/Directory Permissions dialog box of the Windows GUI to bring
up the Add Users and Groups dialog box.
Figure 5 Windows Explorer File Permissions
NOTE: The List Names From field displays the source of the list of group names. It may also
show the name of your domain. Do not use the domain list to add new ACLs.
Figure 6 Windows Explorer List Names From field
Instead, what you need is a list of groups and users that can be recognized by the underlying
UNIX file system.
Since the actual ACLs will be UNIX file permissions or VxFS POSIX ACLs in their final form,
the only valid groups and users are UNIX groups and users that the Samba server knows
about.
• Go to the List Names From drop-down list in the Add Users and Groups dialog box. One
screen choice is to list names on your Samba server. This is the list HP recommends.
