View expected user permissions

You can view the expected permissions for user access to a file or directory.

This procedure must be performed through the command-line interface (CLI).

  1. Establish an SSH connection to any node in the cluster.
  2. View expected user permissions by running the isi auth access command.
    The following command displays permissions in /ifs/ for the user that you specify in place of <username>: 
    isi auth access <username> /ifs/
    The system displays output similar to the following example: 
            User
           Name : <username>
            UID : 2018
            SID : SID:S-1-5-21-2141457107-1514332578-1691322784-1018

    The following command displays verbose-mode file permissions information in /ifs/ for the user that you specify in place of <username>: 
    isi auth access <username> /ifs/ -v
    The system displays output similar to the following example: 
    User Name : <username> UID \

    isi auth access <username> /ifs/data/file_with_acl.tx -v
    The system displays output similar to the following example:
