Authentication and authorization

SAN File System performs authorization checking for file-system operations on client machines based on the native operating system's user authentication mechanism. SAN File System does not restrict how authentication is performed, but it does assume that all UNIX® clients share a common definition of users and groups; specifically, it assumes that any given identity using SAN File System has the same numerical value on all UNIX clients.
