VFS panel 🚀

The VFS panel allows you to configure VFS parameters, view the servers where the VFS is configured, manage access permissions, and define root and home directories for users.

This panel appears after selecting a VFS from the top dropdown and opening the Settings (VFS) window using the gear icon.

The VFS settings panel is divided into four tabs:

  • VFS: main configuration parameters that define the VFS.

  • Info: lists all servers on which the VFS is configured.

  • ACL: allows managing permissions for users and groups (if ACL is enabled).

  • User settings: shows all users with access to the VFS and their assigned root/home directories.

Each tab covers a different aspect of VFS.
