Change Auditor for Windows File Servers 7.1.1 - User Guide

File System Protection

Introduction

When licensed, Change Auditor for Windows Files Servers also provides an access control model that permits administrators to secure business-critical files and folders on the file server against potentially dangerous changes.

To use file system protection, you must first define the files/folders to protect:

File System Protection page

The File System Protection page displays when File System is selected from the Protection task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks tab. From this page you can launch the File System Protection wizard to specify a file or folder to be protected from unauthorized access. You can also edit existing templates, disable a template, and remove templates that are no longer being used.

The File System Protection page contains an expandable view of all the File System Protection templates that have been previously defined. To add a new template to this list, click Add. Once added, the following information is provided for each template:

Indicates whether the template is enabled or disabled. To enable/disable the template, place your cursor in this Status cell, click the arrow control and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu.
Excluded from Protection - indicates you selected the Allow option to allow only the selected accounts to change the protected objects.
Included in Protection - indicates you selected the Deny option to allow all accounts to change the protected objects EXCEPT for those selected.

Click the expansion box to the left of the Template name to expand this view and display the following details for each template:

File System Protection templates

To enable protection, create a File System Protection template which specifies the files/folders to lock down. You can then add this template to an agent configuration, which then needs to be assigned to the appropriate agents.

NOTE: If you are planning to use multiple File System Protection templates, refer to the Change Auditor Technical Insight Guide for more information on how multiple protection templates are evaluated.
