Does volume snapmirror replicate access privilege to the destination volume?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
 - SVM-DR
 - SnapMirror
 - Access Control List (ACL)
 
Answer
File ACLs are replicated to the SnapMirror destination along with the files. However, volume-level SnapMirror does not replicate share-level configurations, which are part of the data SVM configuration.
Notes:
- ACLs control access to files, while share-level configurations provide NAS protocol access for shared files.
 - To replicate share-level configurations, refer to Replicate an entire SVM configuration.
 - There is no way to exclude file ACLs during SnapMirror replication.
