CIFS share permission issue

Divine — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:18:29 GMT

We have a 7-mode system running 8.2.3 ONTAP, that has CIFS shares configured on an AD. The DC has been decommissioned but the files need to be accessed so we created a WORKGROUP to access the files. The shares are all appearing, but some cannot be accessed. We are getting the error "You don't have permission to access". The folders that are accessible are also not allowing access (copy) to the files. Kindly assist.

Regards,

Divine

Hi,

Some Kbs to start with:

I believe those shares have been given access through local user/group on filer itself.

Thanks!

Thank you @Ontapforrum. However all these steps have been done, yet the result is still the same. The shares are all showing on the system when we access it via \\Filer name. But some of the shares do not allow access and the ones that allow access, the files cannot be accessed.

Have you tried sectrace? Also what is the security style of the volumes/qtrees?
