10/22/2021 Contributors To enable file access to the users or groups who have access to a share, you must configure NTFS file permissions on files and directories in that share from a Windows client. Before you begin The administrator performing this task must have sufficient NTFS permissions to change permissions on the selected objects. About this task SMB management and your Windows documentation contain information about how to set standard and advanced NTFS permissions. Steps
When it comes to sharing resources on a network, the first and foremost concern is who will have access to those resources and at what levels. Managing file servers in an Active Directory (AD) environment can be tedious, and the fact that it has to be done one user at a time makes it one of the most time-consuming activities for a system administrator. For example, say a new employee has joined the HR team in your organization. You will want to give them access to shared resources such as staff details, HR policies, company policies, and more, but at the same time, giving them access to financial data is unnecessary and could lead to mislocation, tampering, or misuse of data. As another example, you never want to give a new employee delete permissions on any resource. This is why you need to put a few confinements to the level of access for users in place. You can do this by carefully defining the user's access control entries. Another aspect to consider apart from security is that while the availability of more options for hardware has certainly driven down storage and server costs, the cost of maintenance continues to rise steadily. The reasons for this span from more data being continually stored to server outages and data corruption. These all point to lack of proper file server management and maintenance measures. ADManager Plus offers an efficient, one-stop solution to this problem with file server management and reporting capabilities for Active Directory as well as Isilon and NetApp servers. The file server management feature in ADManager Plus empowers administrators to manage (i.e., assign, modify, and revoke) users' NTFS and share permissions in bulk. All you have to do is choose the shared resource, and then scrutinize and define the access controls of users based on their needs. By using ADManager Plus' file server management capabilities, admins can:
ADManager Plus offers four areas of operations in the file server management section. They are:
While modifying NTFS permissions, you can also list existing shared folder permissions on a specific folder. The copy from folder option makes modifying NTFS permissions even more effortless by letting you copy permissions on another folder and apply them to the desired folder. The Preview option lists the permission changes so that you can verify them before they are updated.
 The revoking section of operations come in handy in scenarios where an employee leaves the organization. The admin does not have to stew over what permissions to revoke on what shares. All they have to do is choose the user account (say Bob) and under permissions choose any permission (in this case all permissions as the employee is leaving) and then type deny. His job is done in no time with no mess. You can even delegate file permissions management to any user with the help desk delegation feature of ADManager Plus. You can also track permission changes of shared folders and file servers with the built-in audit reports. The technician and admin audit reports can be exported to CSV, PDF, HTML, or Excel format as needed. In addition to this, ADManager Plus also has reports on NTFS permissions configured on AD, NetApp, and Isilon file servers such as Shares in the Servers, Permissions for Folders, Folders accessible by Accounts, and Non-Inheritable Folders. These reports give admins immediate visibility into access controls in a comprehensive way. This immediate visibility into permissions can help admins effectively enhance security.
