cmddirnames required for a role able to manage "Allow clients to access Snapshot copies directory"

AleTinivelli — Tue, 19 May 2026 09:03:55 GMT

Good day, we want to have a role for a user that is able to expose/hide Snapshots to the clients, both at volume level and share level. We tried with these cmddirnams:

volume show
volume modify
vserver cifs share show
vserver cifs share properties

but when managing at level share, I still recieve "you aren't authorized to perform this operation"

Could someone help?

thanks in advance

full permissions already owned (not enough to work) by the role are:
command access level
DEFAULT readonly
snapmirror readonly
snapmirror create all
snapmirror initialize all
snapmirror show all
storage aggregate readonly
volume readonly
volume create all
volume efficiency all
volume encryption conversion all
volume modify all
volume mount all
volume show all
vserver readonly
vserver cifs share create readonly
vserver cifs share delete readonly
vserver cifs share modify readonly
vserver cifs share properties all
vserver cifs share show readonly

P.S.: important note: we are trying to make this user work from the GUI, not CLI

setting this:

server cifs share create all
vserver cifs share delete all
vserver cifs share modify all
vserver cifs share properties all
vserver cifs share show all

worked fine
