Modify an NTFS security descriptor DACL entry

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The vserver security file-directory ntfs dacl modify command modifies parameters in an existing discretionary access control (DACL) entry.

You can unambiguously define which DACL entry to modify by specifying the following four parameters in the modify command:

  • Vserver associated with the security descriptor that contains the DACL entry

  • Name of the security descriptor that contains the DACL entry

  • Whether the DACL is an allow or deny type of DACL entry

  • The account name or SID to which the DACL is applied

You can modify the following parameters:

  • -right,-advanced-rights ,-rights-raw

  • -apply-to

Parameters

-vserver <vserver name> - Vserver

Specifies the name of the Vserver associated with the security descriptor containing the discretionary access control entry whose parameters you want to modify.

-ntfs-sd <ntfs sd name> - NTFS Security Descriptor Name

Specifies the name of the security descriptor that contains the discretionary access control entry that you want to modify.

-access-type {deny|allow} - Allow or Deny

Specifies whether the discretionary access control entry that you want to modify is an allow or deny type of access control.

-account <name or sid> - Account Name or SID

Specifies the account associated with the discretionary access control entry you want to modify. You can specify the account by using a user name or SID. You can use any of the following formats when specifying the value for this parameter:

+
* SID
* Domain\user-name
* user-name@Domain
* user-name@FQDN

Note If you specify any of the three user name formats for the value of -account, keep in mind that the value for the user name is case insensitive.
{ [-rights {no-access|full-control|modify|read-and-execute|read|write}] - Access Rights

Specifies the right that you want to add for the account specified in the -account parameter. The -rights parameter is mutually exclusive with the -advanced-rights and -rights-raw parameter. If you specify the -rights parameter, you can only specify one value.

You can specify one of the following rights values:

  • no-access

  • full-control

  • modify

  • read-and-execute

  • read

  • write

Specifies the raw rights that you want to add for the account specified in the -account parameter. The -rights-raw parameter is mutually exclusive with the -advanced-rights and -rights parameter. Specify the value as a hexadecimal integer, for example: 0xA10F or 0xb3ff etc.

| [-advanced-rights <Advanced access right>,…​] - Advanced Access Rights }

Specifies the advanced rights that you want to add for the account specified in the -account parameter. The -advanced-rights parameter is mutually exclusive with the -rights and -rights-raw parameter. You can specify more than one advanced-rights value by using a comma-delimited list.

You can specify one or more of the following advanced rights:

  • read-data

  • write-data

  • append-data

  • read-ea

  • execute-file

  • delete-child

[-apply-to {this-folder|sub-folders|files}] - Apply DACL Entry

You can specify one or more of the following values:

  • this-folder

  • sub-folder

  • files

Note Select one of the following combinations of values for the -apply-to parameter for Storage-Level Access Guard (SLAG):

  • this-folder, sub-folder, files

  • this-folder, sub-folder

  • files

If you specify an invalid -apply-to value, this security descriptor is removed from the associated Storage-Level Access Guard (SLAG) security file-directory policy task .
