Adding a User to an SMB Local Group

Local groups are groups of domain and/or local users that grant additional privileges to those users.

SMB Local Groups:

• Administrators - Administrators can bypass file permissions to change the ownership on files.

• Backup Operators - Backup Operators can bypass file access controls to backup and restore files.

1. Go to configuration services smb groups.

   hostname:configuration services smb> groups

2. Enter create.

   hostname:configuration services smb groups> create

3. Specify the user you want to add to the group:

   hostname:configuration services smb member (uncommitted)> set user=Bill

4. Enter the group name, and then commit the change:

   hostname:configuration services smb member (uncommitted)> set group="Backup Operators"
   hostname:configuration services smb member (uncommitted)> commit  
   

5. Enter list to confirm the user was added to the specified group:

   hostname:configuration services smb groups> list
   MEMBER       USER                         GROUP
