Hi all,

how can I authorize to domain users from Unity GUI and CLI ?

I couldn't find it.

Thank you.

    what do you exactly mean ?

    Any user from the domain that the Unity CIFS server is joined to plus any trusted domains can automatically access shares

    Hi ,

    My customer has lots of users (ex ; domain\user1 , domain\user2 ......etc..)

    The Unity has joined the domain. We created shares in the Unity.

    They need to authorize the domain users from Unity GUI and CLI.

    (ex , domain\user1 (r/w access) to the path , domain\user2 (read only) to the path.)

    Thank you.

    correct

    share ACL's can be managed via MMC from a Windows host

    file / dir ACL's from explorer.exe on a Windows host.

    I would suggest to take a look at the "Configuring Hosts to Access SMB File Systems" PDF manual where this is explained

    This needs to be done by a windows (domain) administrator from a windows client. Unity's storage admin will not be able to do this from Unisphere or CLI for security reason.

    Admin can create required folders and assign required level of access to users & groups.
