Security Models, SnapTrees, and Volumes
Volumes and directories created on the root of a volume (aka SnapTree directories)
are assigned either a Windows- or a UNIX-style security model. The security model
determines the file-level security scheme that will apply to files and folders within
the volume or SnapTree directory.
New volumes default to the Windows-style security model. The security model of a
volume determines the security model to which newly created SnapTree directory
will default. Security models for a volume can be changed on the
Security >
SnapTrees
screens.
Volume Management Tools
The Snap Server offers several tools for monitoring and controlling how storage
space on a volume is used.
Quotas
Quotas are enabled, viewed, edited, and deleted from the
Storage > Quotas
screen
of the Administration Tool. Assigning quotas ensures that no one user or group
consumes a disproportionate amount of volume capacity. Quotas also keep tabs on
Function Navigation Path
Ongoing Maintenance Navigate to the Storage > Volumes screen, from which you
can create, view, edit, and delete volumes.
E-mail Notification The server can notify you when a volume is full. This allows
you to increase volume size or take other actions to ensure
workflows are not disrupted (Settings tab).
Volume Usage To view the current utilization totals for each volume,
navigate to the Monitoring > Volume screen.
Quotas Use quotas (Storage tab) to limit the amount of storage
space on a volume that specific users or groups can
consume.
