https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Unix-group-permissions/m-p/137320#M30284 <P>I just setup a new netapp server running 7mode and for some reasons I am unable to assign unix group permissions on the qtrees that I have created. I am using a Red Hat server that is currently running as a NIS. I have the volumes automounted so I am able to access them but when I try and run a chgrp or chown I get an error saying invalid group. I have used those commands to assign group permissions to local folders on the server with no issues. Is there something I need to do on the netapp side so that I can assign these group permissions?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you.</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:08:48 GMT amazurk 2025-06-04T14:08:48Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Unix-group-permissions/m-p/137320#M30284 <P>I just setup a new netapp server running 7mode and for some reasons I am unable to assign unix group permissions on the qtrees that I have created.

Time to switch over to cDOT</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Anyways, make sure you check qtree security style, if you need straight unix, make sure it's unix</P> Tue, 16 Jan 2018 14:57:06 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Unix-group-permissions/m-p/137321#M30285 JGPSHNTAP 2018-01-16T14:57:06Z
