• The security semantics of a qtree are determined by its security style and its ACL (NFSv4 or NTFS)[9]:

• For a qtree with UNIX security style

• • NFSv4 ACLs and mode bits are effective.
  • NTFS ACLs are not effective.
  • Windows clients cannot set attributes.

• For a qtree with mixed security style

• • NFSv4 ACLs and mode bits are effective.
  • NTFS ACLs are effective.
  • Both Windows and UNIX clients can set attributes. Note File and directories in a qtree can have either an NFSv4 ACL or an NTFS ACL, but not both. Data ONTAP will remap one type to the other, as necessary.

• For a qtree with NTFS security style

• • NFSv4 ACLs are not effective.
  • NTFS ACLs and mode bits are effective.
  • UNIX clients cannot set attributes.
