Applies to

  • ONTAP
  • CIFS
  • NFS

Answer

  • When the Unix mode bits are set to 777, then anonymous users will also be given access.
  • If the Share level ACL is set to Everyone/xx, then the share will be accessible to Everyone with the give "xx" permissions. 
  • Since, it is a Unix share, Permission cannot be managed from Windows end, but we can give necessary permissions on Storage end at Share ACL level.
  • This will allow only those IDs that are allowed at CIFS Share level to access shares and if not, permission will be denied.
