Using SMB Home Shares
The FluidFS cluster enables you to create a share for a user that is limited to that user. For example, when a user "jsmith" connects to the
FluidFS cluster, jsmith will be presented with any available general shares, as well as a share labeled "jsmith" that is visible only to jsmith.
Automatic Creation of Home Share Folders
Automatic creation of home share folders automatically creates folders for users when they log in for the first time. The ownership of the
home share is automatically assigned to the user, and the domain administrator is automatically granted full access to the share.
About this task
This procedure enables the automatic creation of home share folders.
Steps

Manual Creation of Home Share Folders
Manual creation of home share folders can be accomplished with a script (user-created), batch file, or PowerShell cmdlet that is written
by the storage administrator. Alternatively, the storage administrator can manually create these folders to provide stronger access
controls to the storage administrator. The storage administrator can decide whether some or all of the users will be given a home share.
Managing ACLs on an SMB Share Folder
When a new share root folder is created from Storage Manager on NTFS and mixed security styles, the folder is assigned the default ACL.
You can view and modify the owner, SACL, and DACL for root folders of SMB shares using Storage Manager.
Configure SMB Home Shares
Enable SMB home shares to create a share for a client that is limited to that particular client.
Steps
1. Create an SMB share containing a user-based directory tree:
a) In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
b) Click the File System tab.
c) In the File System view, select SMB Shares.
