Managing home directories

About home directories  

You can create user home directories on the storage system and configure Data ONTAP to automatically offer each user a home directory share. The share is called the home directory. From the CIFS client, the home directory works the same way as any other share to which the user can connect.

Each user can connect only to his or her home directories, not home directories for other users.
