Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SMB/CIFS shares
  • Access-Based Enumeration (ABE)
  • Access Control Entry (ACE)

Issue

  • SMB/CIFS share configured with ABE enabled.
  • Share-level ACE grants access only to a specific user or group (e.g., AD\Administrator).
  • Users not included in the ACE can still see the share (e.g., \\server\sharetest) in Windows Explorer.
  • Expected behavior: users not in ACE cannot see the share itself in the network browse list.
  • Actual behavior: users not in ACE cannot access contents but can see the share name.
