Editing access settings for your SMB file share

We recommend adding allowed or denied users or groups to limit access to your file share. If you don't, the file share will be available to all authenticated users.

To edit SMB access settings

  1. Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home.

  2. Choose File shares, and then choose the SMB file share that you want to edit.

  3. For Actions, choose Edit file share access settings.

  4. In the User and group file share access section, choose your settings.

    For Allowed users and groups, choose Add allowed user or Add allowed group and enter an AD user or group that you want to allow file share access. Repeat this process to allow as many users and groups as necessary. Any users not in the Allowed user and groups list will be denied access.

    For Denied users and groups, choose Add denied user or Add denied group and enter an AD user or group that you want to deny file share access. Repeat this process to deny as many users and groups as necessary. If the Allowed users and groups list is empty, all users other than those on the Denied users and groups list will be granted access.

    Note

    Enter only the AD user or group name. The domain name is implied by the membership of the gateway in the specific AD that the gateway is joined to.

    If you don't specify any allowed or denied users or groups, any authenticated AD user can export the file share.
