User mapping

User mapping provides a way to control permissions by specifying a user's security identifiers, user identifiers, and group identifiers. OneFS uses the identifiers to check file or group ownership.

With the user-mapping feature, you can apply rules to modify which user identity OneFS uses, add supplemental user identities, and modify a user's group membership. The user-mapping service combines a user’s identities from different directory services into a single access token and then modifies it according to the rules that you create.

NOTE You can configure mapping rules on a per-zone basis. Mapping rules must be configured separately in each access zone that uses them. OneFS maps users only during login or protocol access.
