Managing ACLs or SLPs on a CIFS Share

The FluidFS cluster supports two levels of access control to CIFS shares, files, and folders:

  • Access Control Lists (ACLs): Governs access to specific files and folders. The administrator can control a wide range of operations that users and groups can perform.

  • Share Level Permissions (SLPs): Governs access to entire shares. The administrator controls only read, change, or full access to an entire share.

SLPs are limited as they only address full control, modify, and read rights for any given user or group at the CIFS share level. ACLs offer a finer level of control, and can control many more operations than only read/change/full access. It is recommended to leave the default setting for SLP (everyone has full control) and use ACLs to control access to the CIFS share, unless there is a specific requirement for SLPs that cannot be accomplished using ACLs.

Dell recommends that a Windows administrator follows the best practices defined by Microsoft for ACLs and SLPs.
  • NOTE: Do not create both ACL‐type permissions and SLPs for the same CIFS share.
  • NOTE: Do not attempt to create a CIFS share using MMC. Use MMC only to set SLPs.
