VAST Cluster 5.2.0-SP15 includes the following new features:

Inherit Parent ACL

This release adds an ability to inherit the parent directory's ACL when creating a new directory using the /folders/create_folder/ API endpoint. When you create a view with the Create directory option selected, you can specify if you want to inherit the ACL for the newly created directory from its parent.

The following user controls have been added for this purpose:

In VAST Web UI, the Inherit parent ACL option in view settings (Element Store -> Views -> choose to create a view -> General tab)
In VAST CLI, the --inherit-acl option on the view create command.

Note
Note: If the parent directory does not have an inherited ACL, the newly created child directory will be assigned an ACL with POSIX 777 permissions.

IO Metrics per User and View

User performance metrics now include indication of a view to help analyze performance of particular users on a specific view.
