SMB File Share
Quick Start

Technical Account

Create a user that the SMB File Share Connector will use to connect to the configured File Share Connections(s), the user should have:

  • permission at the share level to access share security attributes, this requires the user to be a member of the Administrators group on the given File Share

  • full control permission. The connector needs the SMB access right ACCESS_SYSTEM_SECURITY for extracting the security information that is relevant for building the correct ACLs.
