Managing Clients and Users

Setting Up Access Control Lists

You can use Mac OS X Server’s Workgroup Manager to control access to SAN volumes

and folders on those volumes using access control lists (ACLs).

To set up the access control list for a volume or folder:

m

Make sure ACLs are enabled on the volume. For help, see “Enabling or Disabling Access

Control Lists” on page 100. Then open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing. Select

the SAN volume or folder, click Access, and drag user or group names to the access

control list. For more information, see the Workgroup Manager onscreen help.

Unmounting a Volume on a Client

To prevent a client from accessing a volume, you can unmount the volume from the

client. Clients can’t mount SAN volumes themselves; only an administrator can mount a

SAN volume on a client.

To unmount a volume:

1

Open Xsan Admin, select the volume, and click Clients.

2

Select the client computer in the list and click Unmount.

Restricting a Client to Read-Only Access

To prevent a user logged in to a client computer from modifying data on a SAN

volume, you can mount the volume on the client with read-only permissions.

To grant read-only volume access:

1

Open Xsan Admin, select the volume, and click Clients.

2

Select the client computer.

3

If the volume is already mounted on the client, click Unmount.
