Examples of systems described herein include a file server virtual machine of a virtualized file server configured to manage storage of a plurality of storage items. The file server virtual machine including a file system configured to receive an access request directed to a storage item of the plurality of storage items and associated with a user. The file system is further configured to retrieve an access control list having permissions information associated with the storage item, and to cache a permissions profile for the user including all permissions pertaining to the user for the storage item. The file system is further configured to determine whether the access request is permissible based on the cached permissions profile.

Handling permissions for virtualized file servers

Examples described herein include virtualized file servers which may include load balancing. For example, a recommendation engine may estimate a load associated with each of a plurality of file server virtual machines in a cluster. Based on the load, the recommendation engine may recommend changing ownership of one or more volume groups, scaling up the virtualized file server, scaling down the virtualized file server, scaling in the virtualized file server, scaling out the virtualized file server, or combinations thereof.
