- Getting Help
• NTFS security style: Permissions are controlled by Windows and NTFS. The UNIX/ Linux user adheres
to the permissions of the corresponding Windows user, regardless of the UNIX/Linux permission
settings.
• UNIX security style: Permissions are based on the UNIX/Linux permissions. The Windows user adheres
to the permissions of the corresponding UNIX/Linux user.
• Mixed security style: Both UNIX/Linux and Windows permissions are used. Each user can override the
other userʹ permission settings; therefore, be careful when using the Mixed security style.
