## Required Parameters

| `--id ID` | Specifies which tenant to modify. |
| --- | --- |

## Options

| `--enable-privileged-domain-user-restore-access` | Enables the privileged SMB user. |
| --- | --- |
| `--disable-privileged-domain-user-restore-access` | Disables the privileged SMB user. |
| `--enable-privileged-domain-group-backup-access` | Enables the privileged SMB group. |
| `--disable-privileged-domain-group-backup-access` | Disables the privileged SMB group. |
| `--enable-privileged-domain-group-restore-access` | Enables read and write control access for the privileged SMB user group. Members of the group can perform backup and restore operations on all files and directories, without requiring read or write access to the specific files and directories. |
| `--disable-privileged-domain-group-restore-access` | Disables write control access for the SMB privileged user group. If enabled (see `--enable-privileged-domain-group-backup-access`), the group has read control access. Members of the group can perform backup operations on all files and directories without requiring read access to the specific files and directories. They cannot perform restore operations without write access to the specific files and directories. |
| `--privileged-domain-user-logon-name PRIVILEGED_USER_NAME` | An optional custom user name for the SMB or NFSv4.1 privileged user. If not set, the user name is 'vastadmin' in the cluster's joined domain'. |
| `--privileged-domain-group-sid PRIVILEGED_DOMAIN_GROUP_SID` | Specify a custom group SID in order to have a working SMB or NFSv4.1 privileged group with backup operator privileges. If not set, the SMB privileged group is set to the Backup Operators domain group (S-1-5-32-551), which, due to a known issue, does not receive backup operator privileges. |
| `--local-administrators-group-name GROUP_NAME` | Specify a custom name for the privileged SMB group. If not specified, the privileged SMB group name is *Backup Operators*. |
| `--default-others-share-level-perm FULL\|READ\|CHANGE` | Sets the default 'Everyone' Group SMB share-level permission for the tenant. This default permission affects all views in which share-level ACL is disabled. For more information about SMB share-level permissions, see [Share-Level ACLs](/docs-5-3/docs/en/share-level-acls). Possible values: - `FULL` (default). Grants all SMB users *full control* share-level access to views that have *Share-level ACL* disabled. - `READ`. Grants all SMB users *read* share-level access to views that have *Share-level ACL* disabled. - `CHANGE`. Grants all SMB users *change* share-level access to views that have *Share-level ACL* disabled. |
| `--trash-gid TRASH_GID` | If you want to allow access to the [trash folder](/docs-5-3/docs/en/trash-folder-for-rapid-parallel-file-deletion) for non-root NFSv3 users serviced by the tenant, specify this option and provide the GID of the user group that you want to use for this purpose as `TRASH_GID`. Users who belong to this group will have permission to move files into the trash folder. By default, the operation of moving files into the trash folder is supported for the root user only. |
| `--client-ip-ranges IP_RANGES` | Specifies an array of ranges of client IPs to be served by the tenant. Specify `IP_RANGES` as an array where ranges are separated by spaces and the start and end IP of each range is separated by a comma. For example: `10.10.10.2,10.10.10.4 2022:3::69:1337:420:8153,2022:3::69:1337:420:8200` See ??? for more information about dedicating virtual IP pools to tenants and associating client IPs to a tenant. |
| `--posix-primary-provider AD\|LDAP\|NIS` | Specifies one provider to take precedence over other providers in case of any conflicts between attribute values when user information is retrieved from the providers. Applicable if more than one provider is enabled (see `--ad-provider-id`, `--ldap-provider-id`, `nis-provider-id`) |
| `--login-name-primary-provider AD\|LDAP\|NIS` | Determines which authorization provider is the primary provider for the user’s login name. Applicable if more than one provider is enabled (see `--ad-provider-id`, `--ldap-provider-id`, `nis-provider-id`). |
| `--ad-provider-id ID` | Specify up to one Active Directory configuration by its ID in order to enable it for the tenant. Providers configured on the cluster are available for you to select up to one of each type (Active Directory, LDAP and NIS), subject to combination restrictions per tenant described in [Authorization Providers in VAST Cluster](/docs-5-3/docs/en/authorization-providers-in-vast-cluster). |
| `--detach-ad-provider` | Detaches a previously connected Active Directory provider from the tenant. |
| `--ldap-provider-id ID` | Specify up to one LDAP server configuration by its ID in order to enable it for the tenant. Providers configured on the cluster are available for you to select up to one of each type (Active Directory, LDAP and NIS), subject to combination restrictions per tenant described in [Authorization Providers in VAST Cluster](/docs-5-3/docs/en/authorization-providers-in-vast-cluster). |
| `--detach-ldap-provider` | Detaches a previously connected LDAP provider from the tenant. |
| `--nis-provider-id ID` | Specify up to one NIS configuration by its ID in order to enable it for the tenant. Providers configured on the cluster are available for you to select up to one of each type (Active Directory, LDAP and NIS), subject to combination restrictions per tenant described in [Authorization Providers in VAST Cluster](/docs-5-3/docs/en/authorization-providers-in-vast-cluster). |
| `--detach-nis-provider` | Detaches a previously connected NIS provider from the tenant. |
| `--enable-use-smb-native` | When this option is specified, VAST Cluster authorizes client access by using user and group information supplied via Kerberos or NTLM authentication, rather than by querying that user in Active Directory. For more information, see [Authentication for SMB Access](/docs-5-3/docs/en/authentication-for-smb-access). |
| `--disable-use-smb-native` | Disables use of Kerberos or NTLM authentication to authorize SMB client access. This is the default setting. > [!NOTE] > Note > > After you disable use of Kerberos/NTLM Authentication to authorize users from non-trusting domains, users that previously had access, would still have access although the feature is now disabled. |
| `--enable-require-smb-signing` | When specified, SMB clients are required to sign SMB requests. SMB requests with missing or invalid signatures are not accepted. |
| `--disable-require-smb-signing` | When specified, SMB clients are not required to sign SMB requests. |
| `--enable-nfs-v4.2` | Enables support of NFS version 4.2 for this tenant. > [!TIP] > Tip > > Specify this option if you want to let your clients use the [NFSv4.2 Security Labels](/docs-5-3/docs/en/nfsv42-security-labels) capability. |
| `--disable-nfs-v4.2` | Disables support of NFS version 4.2 for this tenant. |
| `--local-provider-id ID` | Specifies a local provider with which the tenant is associated. |
| `--preferred-owning-group PROTOCOL_BASED\|POSIX_GID` | Controls the way VAST Cluster sets the owning group when creating files on a view controlled with the SMB and Mixed Last Wins security flavor: - `PROTOCOL_BASED` (default): The owning group is determined based on the access protocol: - For SMB, the `primaryGroupID` of the user - For NFS, the POSIX GID of the user - `POSIX_GID`: The owning group is determined based on the POSIX GID of the user. |

## Capacity and Performance Limits (QoS)

| `--capacity-rules CAPACITY_RULES` | Enables and sets capacity limits for the tenant. Specify `CAPACITY_LIMITS` as a comma-separated list of *key*=*value* pairs, where the following keys can be used: - `soft_limit`. A soft limit for the maximum allowed used capacity (GB). - `hard_limit`. A hard limit for the maximum allowed used capacity (GB). For example: `soft_limit=1024,hard_limit=2048` |
| --- | --- |
| `--static-limits STATIC_LIMITS` | Enables and sets static performance limits for the tenant. > [!NOTE] > Notice > > This option is available starting with VAST Cluster 5.3.2. Specify `STATIC_LIMITS` as a comma-separated list of *key*=*value* pairs. - `max_reads_bw_mbps`. Maximum read bandwidth to provision, in MB/s. - `max_reads_iops`. Maximum read IOPS to provision. - `max_writes_bw_mbps`. Maximum write bandwidth to provision, in MB/s. - `max_writes_iops`. Maximum write IOPS to provision. - `burst_reads_bw_mb`. Burst bandwidth for read operations, in MB/s. - `burst_reads_iops`. Burst IOPS for read operations. - `burst_reads_loan_mb`. Maximum credit bandwidth for read operations, in MB/s. - `burst_reads_loan_iops`. Maximum credit IOPS for read operations. - `burst_writes_bw_mb`. Burst bandwidth for write operations, in MB/s. - `burst_writes_iops`. Burst IOPS for write operations. - `burst_writes_loan_mb`. Maximum credit bandwidth for write operations, in MB/s. - `burst_writes_loan_iops`. Maximum credit IOPS for write operations. For example: `max_reads_bw_mbps=1024,max_writes_iops=2048` |
| `--reset-static-limits` | Disables static performance limits for the tenant. |
