Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Volume / Qtree with ntfs security-style

Answer

  • Since the file-directory <apply|job|ntfs|policy> commands are best used to replace existing perms, or set them initially, they are not a good choice for working with files / directories with existing permissions which need to be maintained
  • Requirements to remove a user or group while leaving other permssions at or beneath a folder should be met by using Windows Explorer
  • Alternately, other client-side tools may be useful for the task (Examples: icacls, Set-Acl, etc)
