Capabilities

This connector enables you to use File Access Manager to access and analyze data stored in Linux and do the following:

  • Analyze the structure of your stored data.
  • Monitor user activity in the resources.
  • Classify the data being stored.
  • Verify user permissions on the resources, and compare them against requirements.
  • Manage access fulfillment - automated granting and revoking of access - according to rules set in File Access Manager.
  • Identity collector – collect IAM users, groups and roles and the connections between them.

Linux Permission Types

The supported permission types are:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Execute
  • None

None permission - The “None” permission is used when a user or group has no permissions.

“Others” group - The “Others” group, which is part of the Unix permissions, is represented in File Access Manager as a calculated Everyone group.

When a resource has permissions for the “Others” group, this group contains all users except the users and groups that have explicit permissions.

Supported Linux Distributions

  • Ubuntu versions 18.04 and 20.04.
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 7 and 8.
  • CentOS versions 7 and 8.
