Administrator Guide

• UNIX security style – Permissions are based on the UNIX/Linux permissions. The Windows user will adhere 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 user's permission
settings; therefore, be careful when using the Mixed security style.
