Permissions tab is missing on Microsoft Windows share connected to Netapp filer

If the permissions tab is missing on a Nettap filer share when connecting through Microsoft Windows management this probably due to the fact that the share was created using the filer default security Unix instead of NTFS. To confirm and fix this do the following…

  • Login to your filer using ssh or web browser at https:\\filername
  • navigate to Volumes-Qtrees-Manage

  • Select the effected Volume and

  • Change the drop down from Unix to NTFS
  • Apply and you are done.

Hope this helps
