CIFS share ignores group permissions

consorcisg — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:25:50 GMT

Hi all,

I've a shared volume (not qtree) with cifs mode.

I've created a AD group (LABWIN\FabricaRetiradesLectura) that has one member: LABWIN\imatges

DISC1> wcc -s LABWIN\imatges

(NT - UNIX) account name(s): (LABWIN\imatges - imatges)

***************

UNIX uid = 245

user is a member of group program (100)

user is a member of group group (50)

user is a member of group program (100)

NT membership

LABWIN\imatges

LABWIN\Usuarios de Acceso Web remoto de Windows SBS

LABWIN\Usuarios de fax de Windows SBS

LABWIN\Windows SBS SharePoint_MembersGroup

LABWIN\Usuarios del vínculo de Windows SBS

LABWIN\FabricaRetiradesLectura

LABWIN\Usuarios del dominio

BUILTIN\Users

User is also a member of Everyone, Network Users,

Authenticated Users

***************

DISC1> fsecurity show /vol/FABRICA/proves

[/vol/FABRICA/proves - Directory (inum 161953)]

Security style: NTFS

Effective style: NTFS

DOS attributes: 0x0030 (---AD---)

Unix security:

uid: 0 (root)

gid: 1 (daemon)

mode: 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)

NTFS security descriptor:

Owner: BUILTIN\Administrators

Group: LABWIN\Usuarios del dominio

DACL:

Allow - LABWIN\FabricaRetiradesLectura - 0x001f01ff (Full Control) - OI|CI

Allow - LABWIN\Administrador - 0x001f01ff (Full Control) - OI|CI

Although the folder has NTFS permissions to this group, and the user is a member of the group, I can't access the folder:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you!

I was just about to create a post on this very issue. I am even having issues with users or groups that i add to the cifs not showing up at all. Im not much on the command line side so i used oncommand to create the share and added our network admins group and all was fine. I then added an individual user to this share and they show in the oncommand console but the user does not have access. I connected using computer management in windows to look at the share permissions and the users is not listed.

Please try the following steps:-

Execute 'wcc -s <ntname> -x' command on the filer.

Execute 'wcc -x' command on the filer. (wcc -x will invalidate the entire credential cache so be informed that this may result in an increased traffic from filer to AD for a little while till WAFL Credential Cache (wcc) is re populated)
If it asks for confirmation, gives 'yes'.

Now, try accessing the volume from the client.

Please let me know if it works.

(For more info, try 'man wcc' on the filer)

I tried what Ashok suggested, but it didn't fix the problem. We have the same issue, any help would be appreciated. This seems like a fairly basic functionality that shouldn't be this difficult to solve. We had no problem with our old NetApp, it had this functionality out of the box.

I ran into the same problem after granting a domain group access to a CIFS share. It was only after checking the AD Group Type that I found the root cause -- it was set to Distribution and not to Security. After changing the Group Type to Security, I was able to access the CIFS share using a user account from within the group. Hopefully, this solves some of the issues out there.
