Unified file and object access in IBM Storage Scale
Unified file and object access allows use cases where you can access data by using object and file interfaces. Use the following information to manage unified file and object access that includes identity management modes for unified file and object access, authentication for unified file and object access, and objectization service schedule.
Important: In a unified file and object access environment, object ACLs apply only to
accesses through the object interface and file ACLs apply only to accesses through the file
interface.
For example, if user Bob ingests a file from the SMB interface and
user Alice does not have access to that file from the SMB interface, it does not
mean that Alice does not have access to the file from the object interface. The
access rights of Alice for that file or object from the object interface depends on
the ACL defined for Alice on the container in which that file or object
resides.
