 +## Effective User
 +
 +File system operations are performed by the File Fabric as the Linux user who mounted the file system. Access permissions thus will be determined by both the Enterprise File Fabric and the network file system.
 +
 +The ability to mount the file system for each File Fabric user may also be supported. Contact Storage Made Easy [[support@storagemadeeasy.com]] for more information.
