Manual Creation of Home Share Folders
Manual creation of home share folders can be accomplished with a script (user-created), batch le, 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.
