Managing SMB Shares
Server Message Block (SMB) shares provide an effective way of sharing files across a Windows network with authorized
clients. The FluidFS cluster supports SMB protocol versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1.1.
When you first create an SMB share, access is limited as follows:
● The Administrator account has full access.
● If you are using Active Directory, the AD domain administrator has full access.
To assign other users access to an SMB share, you must log in to the SMB share using one of these administrator accounts and
set access permissions and ownership of the SMB share.
Share-Level Permissions
The default share-level permissions (SLP) for a new share is full control for authenticated users. This control can be modified
either:
● Using the MMC tool
● In the Storage Manager Security tab of the Edit Settings panel
