CIFS User Permissions

File Access Manager requires different permissions, based on the tasks that require those permissions. The user configured in the Application Configuration Wizard must have the following permissions for each task:

  • Crawling - A user with Shared Read access, who has permissions to enumerate all shares on the CIFS server.

    A user with File Read access, with permissions to read file attributes.

    Typically, in most systems, this would be a member of the local Backup Operators group on the CIFS server.

  • Permission Collection - A user with Shared Read access, who has permissions to enumerate all shares on the CIFS server.

    A user with permissions for enumeration of CIFS share-level permissions.

    Typically, in most systems, this would be a member of the local Backup Operators group on the CIFS server.

  • Data Classification - A user with Shared Read access, who has permissions to enumerate all shares on the CIFS server.

    A user with File Read access, with permissions to read the file contents.

    Typically, in most systems, this would be a member of the local Backup Operators group on the CIFS server.
