Xsan 2 Administrator Guide - Security

Security

There are several ways you can control access to a SAN volume:

Unmount a volume on client computers that shouldn’t have access to it. Users can’t

Â

browse or mount SAN volumes; only a SAN administrator can mount SAN volumes
on clients.
Mount a volume on a client for read-only access, to prevent users on a client

Â

computer from modifying data on the volume.
Specify owner, group, and general access permissions in Xsan Admin.

Â

Specify owner, group, and general access permissions in the Finder.

Â

Control user access to files and folders on a volume, by setting up access control lists

Â

(ACLs) in Xsan Admin.
Set up zones in the underlying Fibre Channel network, to segregate users and

Â

volumes.
