UNIX Permissions
When accessing your Turbo storage through NFS, your access to files and directories will depend on their UNIX permissions. The user assigns these permissions at the object level, and the user's default group permissions are also assigned to the file. By default, only the creator of a file and the users in the group inherited from the parent directory will be able to access a file.
For more information on UNIX Permissions, refer to this guide or ask your Unit IT Staff for help.
Active Directory Permissions
If you are accessing your Turbo Storage through CIFS, your access to files and folders will be based on your Active Directory (AD) Group Membership. AD Group membership is owned and managed by Unit IT Staff. You should contact your unit IT team for assistance if you need to change permissions or access to CIFS/SMB Volume.
Unix Groups
To set appropriate permissions and provide access for multiple users on our clusters, ARC must create local Unix groups. These groups can be created and maintained from Mcommunity groups and our Research Management Portal. Any user additions or deletions to any Unix groups not managed by the portal on any ARC service must be requested by contacting us at [email protected].
Active Directory (AD) Groups
To set appropriate permissions and provide access for multiple users in CIFS volume, AD groups must be created by your local IT department.
Multi-protocol volumes require advanced synchronization between Unix Groups and AD groups. Contact your unit IT staff to help build this synchronization, and we will work with you and them to set it up.
Any requests to change membership of AD groups must be directed towards your local IT department.
