Access to Open Files in Computer Management

[dadan]

Is there a solution for accessing the "Open Files" of a Netapp-Filer in Computer Mangement for our support team other than adding the users to one of the filers administrative groups?

Hi,

Yes. To set this up, the user should be added to the BUILTIN\Aministrators or "BUILTIN\Power Users" group.
Example:
cifs users-and-groups local-groups add-members -vserver <vserver_name> -group-name BUILTIN\Administrators -member-names <domainuser>
or
cifs users-and-groups local-groups add-members -vserver <vserver_name> -group-name "BUILTIN\Power Users" -member-names <domainuser>

Hello,

the question was, is there another solution than use one of these builtin-groups? We want to allow the user only permissons to "open files", if possible. 

If there is no other way, than use the builtin-groups, what permissions (other than access to "open files") does BUILTIN\Power Users have?

BUILTIN\Power Users :
-> Can create and manage local users and groups.
-> Cannot add themselves or any other object to the BUILTIN\Administrators group.
