Creating your file...
You can display information about file and directory security on NTFS security-style volumes, including what the security style and effective security styles are, what permissions are applied, and information about DOS attributes. You can use the results to validate your security configuration or to troubleshoot file access issues.
You must supply the name of the storage virtual machine (SVM) and the path to the data whose file or folder security information you want to display. You can display the output in summary form or as a detailed list.
-
Because NTFS security-style volumes and qtrees use only NTFS file permissions and Windows users and groups when determining file access rights, UNIX-related output fields contain display-only UNIX file permission information.
-
ACL output is displayed for file and folders with NTFS security.
-
Because Storage-Level Access Guard security can be configured on the volume root or qtree, output for a volume or qtree path where Storage-Level Access Guard is configured might display both regular file ACLs and Storage-Level Access Guard ACLs.
-
The output also displays information about Dynamic Access Control ACEs if Dynamic Access Control is configured for the given file or directory path.
-
Display file and directory security settings with the desired level of detail:
If you want to display information… Enter the following command… In summary form
vserver security file-directory show -vserver vserver_name -path pathWith expanded detail
vserver security file-directory show -vserver vserver_name -path path -expand-mask true
The following example displays the security information about the path /vol4 in SVM vs1:
cluster::> vserver security file-directory show -vserver vs1 -path /vol4
