What other options are there to apply NTFS ACLs if Windows Explorer is too slow?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9+
- CIFS
Answer
There are many different applications to apply NTFS ACLs(permissions) to a cifs share.
Some of the most common are:
- Using
vserver security file-directory apply
- icacls
- SLAG
- SLAG applies the same ACLs to the whole volume or qtree where it was applied instantly.
- A users access when SLAG is applied will be the most restrictive between the File/Folder permissions and SLAG.
A common practice to speed up ACL propagation is to use multiple clients(for icacls), or multiple jobs(for file-directory apply
) and have each client/job apply to a seperate data set.
