What local privileges are

Privileges are well-known rights that can be granted to local and domain users and groups to perform User Rights Management tasks on the CIFS server. You cannot create privileges. You can only add or remove existing privileges.

  • List of supported privileges
    ONTAP has a predefined set of supported privileges. Certain predefined local groups have some of these privileges added to them by default. You can also add or remove privileges from the predefined groups or create new local users or groups and add privileges to the groups that you created or to existing domain users and groups.
  • How to assign privileges
    You can assign privileges directly to local users or domain users. Alternatively, you can assign users to local groups whose assigned privileges match the capabilities that you want those users to have.
